Central Tianjin is located at the confluence of several major waterways. The Ziya River, the Yongding River, and the north and south sections of the Grand Canalāknown respectively as the Bei (North) Yunhe and Nan (South) Yunheāall meet in this area.1
These rivers and canal sections merge to form the Hai River, which then flows eastward from the city toward the Bo Hai.1
