The Qingjiang is a tributary to the Yangtze River.[1] It is 423 kilometers long.[2] Its drainage area is 17,000 km2.[3] The Qingjiang empties into the Yangtze at the ancient city of Yichang.[4]

The Qingjiang has three large dams on it, the Geheyan, Gaobazhou, and Shuibuya.[2] The Geheyan dam has a ship lift that can lift vessels of up to 300 tons displacement.

During the 1998 Yangtze flood the dam effectively held back the Qingjiang's flow.[1]
