This unique river flows in northern China and is about 17 kilometers long. According to reports, this river is about 10,000 years old and is still flowing with its natural course.

Its biggest feature is its width which is only 15 centimeters on average. Not only this, in some parts its width is reduced to 4 centimeters.

That is, if one does not look carefully, it may look like a water line. The depth of this river is also not very much.

According to the report of Oddity Central, its maximum depth is only 50 centimeters. This means that even if a child puts his foot in it, the entire foot is unlikely to sink. The river’s water originates from underground springs, which seep through the surrounding rocks and soil layers and come to the surface.

After this, it flows slowly and meets Dalai Nur Lake. Experts believe that the Hualai River is a natural miracle, which tells the story of thousands of years of changes in the Earth’s landform and water balance.

It is called a Living Geographic Wonder because despite its small size, the entire ecosystem is in balance. This river has become a tourist attraction in China. Many people reach here just to see it and measure its width.

Some people even call it the world’s smallest natural challenge, where crossing the river by jumping becomes a fun experience.
