Hun River

The Hun River is a tributary of the Liao River in China's Liaoning province. It flows into the Liao River not far above the Liao's mouth and drains the foothills of the Liaodong Peninsula and Changbai Mountains. The Hun River passes through Shenyang (Mukden), a major city in Liaoning province. The Liao River system itself drains the southern part of the Northeast (Manchurian) Plain and is about 860 miles long. The river carries a lot of silt, and its water volume fluctuates significantly with the seasons, often leading to flooding despite dikes. The Liao River is not a major waterway due to its silting mouth, though smaller craft can navigate it upstream.1
