The Jin River (Chinese: ; pinyin: Jǐn Jiāng) is a river of Sichuan, China. It flows through the provincial capital of Chengdu.[1] It consists of three parts: the Fu River, an extension of the Fu River (Chinese: 府河) and the Nan River(Chinese: 南河).[1] The Jin River has a long and complex cultural history, dating back to 256 BC when it was formed.[2] Over the course of several dynasties, the Jin River has been given different names by the ruler in power at the time.[3] Flowing the provincial capital of Chengdu city, the river historically provided a source for irrigation, boat travel, and a means to dispose of wastewater.[3][4][5][1] As the cities’ population increased, pollution of the river became a major environmental concern leading to regulation projects beginning in 1993.[6] The current ecological state of the river is degraded as it is overloaded with dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus inputs from urban sources.[7] Alongside the riverbank of the Jin River, theme parks were built and numerous tourism programs were created.[8]
