Course
The Bailong River, in name, rises in Gansu's Luqu County, just west of the town of Langmusi. The river drains the northern sections of the Min Mountains and then flows through Zhugqu and Longnan before meeting the Jialing River in Guangyuan, Sichuan. The main stem of the river, however, is actually a tributary that has its source in the Min Mountains, north of Songpan.
