The Yellow River flows through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong provinces.

The Yellow River basin is generally in the north (except Sichuan), Guangdong is in the south, and the Yellow River does not flow. Therefore, Guangdong is not a province in the Yellow River basin, let alone the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, which are Henan and Shandong.

Guangdong is the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River.
