The Gan River (simplified Chinese: 赣江; traditional Chinese: 贛江; pinyin: Gàn Jiāng, Gan: Kōm-kong) travels 885 km (550 mi) north through the western part of Jiangxi before flowing into Lake Poyang and thence into the Yangtze River. The Xiang-Gan uplands separate it from the Xiang River of neighbouring eastern Hunan.[1]
It is the major geographical backbone of Jiangxi, and gives its name to the Gan language.[2]
The river feeds into Lake Poyang, which in turns connects with the Yangtze.[3]
