How to read this map

The Xi River is about 2,200 km (1,370 mi) long and drains a basin of about 437,000 km² (169,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 7,410 m³/s (262,000 cu ft/s). It flows into the Pearl River. Tributaries include Beipan River, Bei River, Xunjiang, Gui River, Yuecheng River, Xinxing River and Luoding River.

The highlighted blue line is the course of the Xi River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Maoming, Zhuhai, Foshan, Qingyuan and Macau.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the course of the Xi River come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the line is a guide to where the Xi River is, not a surveyed boundary.
