	Xiang River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Xiang River (also as Xiangjiang River, Chinese:湘江 or "湘水", pinyin: Xiāng Jiāng, Xiāng Shǔi; Wade-Giles: "hsiāng chiāng" or "hsiāng shuǐ"), in older transliterations as the Siang River or Hsiang River, is a river in southern China.
		People say the Xiang and the Lijiang River share the same origination because of connecting the two rivers of the Lingqu Canal that it is located in Xing'an county, and 70 per centage of water in Lingqu flows in the Xiang and 30 percent flows in the Lijiang.

	Shonan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This phrase refers to a beautiful area centered around the Xiao River (瀟江) and the Xiang River (湘江) south of the Yangtze River in Hunan.
		In Japan, the scenery of the Shonan area was thought to be similar to the scenery around the Xiao and Xiang rivers in Hunan, China; hence the term "Shonan" (Chinese: "xiang1 nan2," another name for the Hunan region) came to be applied to the area around Enoshima in Japan.
		Among others, the lake is fed by the Xiang and Xiao rivers (the Xiao is a tributary of the Xiang).
