China's Huang He (Yellow River in English) flows between Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces through a valley with loamy soil known known as loess, a yellowish buff colored silt made up of very fine particles, which colors the water. The amount of silt is further increased by the loess carried into the Huang He by its many tributaries.
