Wei River
The Wei or Wey River is a river in northern Henan, southern Hebei, and western Shandong in China. Beginning in the southern foothills of the Taihang Mountains in Xinxiang County in Henan, the river's former course extended past Dezhou to the Bohai Sea but these lower reaches were fully incorporated into the Grand Canal under the Yuan.| Tap on a place to explore it |
