Shijing River


The Shijing River (Chinese: 石井江; pinyin: Shíjǐng Jiāng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chio̍h-chéⁿ Kang) is a small river in Fujian Province of China. The tidal estuary it forms when entering the Weitou Bay of the Taiwan Strait is known as the Anhai Bay (Chinese: 安海湾). Most of the Shijing River's basin is within the Prefecture-level city of Quanzhou.

The sources of the Shijing River are in the hilly area near the border of Quanzhou's Nan'an City and Xiamen's Xiang'an District. The Shibi Reservoir (石壁水库; dam at 24°45′41.4″N 118°21′29.3″E / 24.761500°N 118.358139°E / 24.761500; 118.358139) constructed in 1955-1958 on the upper course of the Daying Stream (Chinese: 大盈溪; pinyin: Dàyíng Xī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tāi-êng Khe) (one of the Shijing's tributaries) is used for irrigation and water supply in several towns within the county-level cities of Nan'an and Jinjiang. The reservoir also has a 1 MW hydroelectric plant.
