Fujian
River in the Wuyi Mountains, Fujian province, China.
The Min River system is the primary waterway that drains approximately half of Fujian province.1
The system is formed by the confluence of three major rivers at Nanping: the Jian River, the Futun River (also known as the Shaowu), and the Sha River. These tributaries originate in the mountain ranges to the north, west, and south, creating a trellislike drainage pattern as they flow toward the East China Sea.21
