珠江是北江，西江和东江的统称。其干流西江发源于云南省东部山区，流经贵州，广西到广东后于北江，东江汇合流入南海，全长2214公里，是中国内陆第三河流。从前，珠江流经广州的河段有一巨石，此石经千百年流水冲洗后变的浑圆光滑，就像一颗珍珠在阳光下闪闪发光;珠江因此得名。

[About the Pearl River]

Welcome aboard for an evening cruise on the Pearl River! The Pearl River is the third longest inland river in China. The name, Pear River, is a general designation of the Xijiang, the Beijing and the Dongjiang rivers. Its mainstream ,the 2214-kilometer –long Xijiang River, rises in the mountain in the eastern part of Yunnan Province, flows through Guizhuo and Guangxi province, joins the Beijiang River in Guangzhou Province and empties into the South China Sea. The river is so named because there used to be a huge reef in the river through the city of Guangzhou and, after being washed by the water for thousands of years, this reef became very round and smooth and looked just like a pearl glittering under the sunshine.
