The Min River

And the Dujiangyan irrigation project which "tamed the mighty Min Jiang". According to modern legend Mao visited and wanted to swim in the river, and people were like "you're crazy, you'll be drowned!"(cause it's fast running and rocky) But Mao was all "I'm used to swimming in the yellow river, the Min Jiang ain't no thang, byatchs!" Then I wasn't told whether he swam or not. But presumably he did, and swam so fast that the cars following him couldn't keep up. Truly, he was a mighty helmsman.
