The Ziya River flows from Mount Wutai until it reaches the Hai River in Xian County, Hebei. Notable tributaries of the Ziya include the Ming, Hutuo, Fuyang, and Qingshui rivers. It shares a channel with the Hai River near the Southern Canal. A new artificial channel was constructed to connect it to the Bohai Sea near Tianjin under the name New Ziya River.
