The Zijiang has two sources, the South and the West. Originating from the norh side of Yuechengling Mountains in Ziyuan County of Guangxi, the South source, Daxishui River flows through Xinning, Shaoyang. Origination from the Huangmajie in Chengbu county, the West source, Heshui River flows through Wugang and Longhui.
The two rivers flow until they join the main river named Zijiang River at Shuangjiangkou in Shaoyang county. Then the Zijiang runs through Shaoyang, Xinshao, Lengshuijiang, Xinhua, Anhua and Taojiang, empties into the Dongting Lake at Ganxikou in Yiyang.

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.
