The Ying River is the largest tributary of the Huai River with its origin in Henan Province, People's Republic of China.[2] From Zhoukou City in Henan, the river flows through Fuyang City in Anhui Province then empties into the Huai River at Zhengyang.[3]
Seriously polluted along its entire length, in 2007 the Ying River's water quality was rated as below Grade 5 by the Chinese Environmental Protection Agency.[4]
The Sha River (沙河) is the largest tributary and from the confluence onward, the Ying River is often referred to as the Shaying River (沙颍河).
