The Yellow River, also known as Hwang Ho (PROSE: Marco Polo) or Huanghe, (COMIC: Sharper Than the Serpent's Tooth) lay along the Great Wall of Cathay. In 1289, Marco Polo's caravan travelled along the Yellow River for many miles. (TV: "The Wall of Lies") The first city on its banks was Lan-Chow. The river ran through Cathay for a "thousand leagues" before eventually depositing in the sea. (PROSE: Marco Polo)

Behind the scenes

In the novelisation of Marco Polo, the Chinese name for the river is "Hwang Ho", an obsolete spelling. The modern spelling is "Huánghé" or "Huáng Hé".
