Origin of the name Pearl River The Pearl River originally referred to a 96-kilometer-long waterway from Guangzhou to the estuary. It was named because it flows through the famous Haizhu Island (Stone). It later gradually became the general name for the Xijiang, Dongjiang, Beijiang and various rivers in the Pearl River Delta.
Pearl River is called in narrow sense and broad sense.
The Pearl River in a more narrow sense refers to the small section of the river where the Pearl River tributaries merge at the "Three Rivers" in the northwest of Guangzhou and flow through Guangzhou city from north to south and from west to east.
In ancient times, the section of the Pearl River flowing through Guangzhou's urban area was originally very wide, about 2 kilometers wide.
It turns out that the north bank of the Pearl River is not along Yanjiang Road, but around Zhongshan Road, while the south bank has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years.
In the 2-kilometer-wide Pearl River, there were originally three reef islands, called Haizhushi, Haiyinshi and Fuqiushi.
Haizhushi is a giant reef island in the old Pearl River channel, also known as Haizhu Island. It is located near today's Yanjiangxi Road and Xindi.
The sea pearl stone is called sea pearl stone because it has been washed by the river for a long time and is round like a pearl.
During the Song Dynasty, the stone was still located in the center of the river. Later, due to alluvial sediment, it was gradually connected to the land on the north bank of the Pearl River.
In 1931, when a new embankment was being expanded to build Yanjiang West Road, Haizhu Stone began to sink underground.
