Which Chinese river is about 5,464 km long and is also called Huang He?

The Chinese river about 5,464 km long and also called Huang He is the Yellow River.

The Yellow River begins in the Bayan Har Mountains of Qinghai on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. It travels through nine provincial-level regions before reaching the Bohai Sea. Its estimated length of 5,464 km makes it China’s second-longest river, behind the Yangtze, and one of the world’s major river systems.

The name refers to the river’s characteristic yellow-brown color. Vast quantities of fine yellow loess are eroded from the Loess Plateau and carried downstream as sediment. That sediment has built up the lower riverbed, in places leaving the channel elevated above the surrounding plain behind its levees.

“Huang He” means Yellow River in Chinese, while “Huanghe” is another romanization. The Yangtze is a tempting wrong answer because it is China’s longest river, but its Chinese name is Chang Jiang and its course is much longer.
