The Gan River (simplified Chinese: 赣江; traditional Chinese: 贛江; pinyin: Gàn Jiāng, Gan: Kōm-kong) runs north through the western part of Jiangxi before flowing into Lake Poyang and thus the Yangtze River. The Xiang-Gan uplands separate it from the Xiang River of neighboring eastern Hunan.[1]

Two similarly sized rivers, the Gong River which is the southern tributary and the Mei River from the north combine in Yudu County, Jiangxi, to form the Gan. The Gan River flows 527 km (327 mi) before splitting into distributaries just north of Nanchang. The longest of these, the North Branch, is several times longer than the other distributaries at 72 km (45 mi). The Gan River is the major geographical feature of Jiangxi, and gives its name to the Gan variety of Chinese[2] as well as the province's one-character abbreviation.[3]
The river feeds into Lake Poyang, which in turns connects with the Yangtze.[4]

[es] Río Gan
El río Gan (en chino, 赣江; pinyin, Gàn Jiāng, gan, Kōm-kong) es un río que discurre por la provincia de Jiangxi de la República Popular China. Se trata de un afluente del curso inferior del río Yangtsé. Tiene una longitud de 751 kilómetros (991 con las cabeceras) y drena una cuenca de unos 83 500 km², mayor que países como República Checa, Panamá o Serbia.[it] Gan (fiume)
Il Gan (cinese: 赣江; pinyin: Gan Jiang; romanizzazione Wade-Giles: Kan Chiang) è un fiume della Cina che scorre prevalentemente nello sheng (provincia) del Jiangxi. Il fiume Gan è uno dei principali affluenti meridionali del fiume Yangtze (Chang Jiang). I suoi rami sorgentizi hanno origine nella provincia del Guangdong, dove i monti Dayu dividono il Jiangxi sud-occidentale dal Guangdong. Questo torrente superiore è chiamato fiume Zhang. Un altro torrente, il fiume Gong, nasce sui monti Jiulian nell'estremità meridionale del Jiangxi. Questi due torrenti si riuniscono nei pressi della città di Ganzhou, e da qui il Gan scorre verso nord attraverso la provincia del Jiangxi fino al lago Poyang e, da qui, allo Yangtze. In epoca storica la valle del fiume costituì un'importante via che collegava Guangzhou (Canton) nel Guangdong alla valle dello Yangtze a nord. La lunghezza totale del Gan è di 815 km.[ru] Ганьцзян
