We all know that there are many oceans and rivers large and small on the earth. Rivers nurture human civilization and are an indispensable gift from nature. Let's take a look at some of the most beautiful and spectacular rivers in the world below.
1. Amazon River
The Amazon River, located in South America, is the largest river in the world, but it is only second in length. Nonetheless, because the area it flows through is wet and rainy, it benefits countless people in the area it flows through. Because its water area is particularly wide and flows through many countries, no one has successfully built a bridge on it so far. It has lush tropical rain forests and virgin forests, attracting countless adventure-loving people to explore.
2. Sepik River
The Sepik River, the longest river in Papua New Guinea, winds its way through the mountains and then drains into the Bismarck Sea. The small tribes along the coast are in a state of isolation, and the people of these tribes have created one of the traditional crafts of Oceania with simple content and various forms. Canoes are still the main means of transport in the area, and tourists can cruise.
3. The Nile River in Africa
The Nile is the longest river in the world, with a total length of 6,853 kilometers, consisting of one main stream and two tributaries. The Nile River Basin is one of the birthplaces of world civilization, and the meandering Nile River is the soul of Egypt. When it comes to ancient Egypt, people will think of the pyramids standing on the Nile River and the ancient ships sailing on the Nile River. The Nile is the longest river in the world and the mother river of Egypt.
4. Rainbow River
The Rainbow River in the middle of Colombia, known as the "river that falls from heaven", is the most beautiful river in the world. For most of the year, the river looks like any other, but the high summer temperatures prompt algae blooms and the river suddenly becomes colourful.
5. Danube and Rhine
The first cruise ship in Europe is on the Danube and Rhine! Two rivers linked by canals pass through 12 countries, and along the banks are scattered beautiful buildings, medieval towns and romantic castles. In the shallow waters of the Danube, a large number of beautiful reeds grow, and the Danube delta gathers more than 300 species of birds, making it a "paradise for birds".
The Rhine River is the longest river in Germany. The Rhine River flows through deep and twists, the scenery on both sides of the canyon is very magnificent, and there are many ancient and famous cities along the banks.
6. Zambezi River
The Zambezi River has a total length of 2,660 kilometers and a drainage area of 1.35 million square kilometers. The Zambezi River is the fourth largest river in Africa, originating in the mountains of western Zambia. It has the stunning Victoria Falls, as well as exciting rafting and wildlife viewing.
