The true significance of the Battle for the Yalu River was not that Japan had won, but that Russia had lost. It mattered little that the Russians had escaped or that they had been out-numbered nearly four-to-one. The cold hard fact was that they had been beaten. The brutal fighting cost the Russians nearly 2,700 casualties. Among the nearly 42,500 troops of the Japanese 1st Army, the fighting left 1,036 dead and wounded.

The Yalu River (Chinese) or the Amnok River (Korean), is a river on the border between China and North Korea. The Chinese name comes from a Manchu word meaning "the boundary between two fields". The Korean name is the Korean pronunciation of the same Chinese characters.

The Yalu River runs through the wet region of temperate zone. It receives precipitation of 870 mm annually, and the distribution increases as it flows downstream. Every year when ice starts thawing, there will be spring flood. It is cool and humid across the whole region. Major plants are maples, Korean pines, birches, and oaks especially in downstream. There are ... many wild animals.

The Yalu River is now in the dry season when the river water was previously polluted most seriously, so birds were seldom seen at this time in the past, said Cao. Only in summer time when there was adequate rainfall and pollution was relatively light could people occasionally enjoy the sight of flocks of mallards in Dandong. This change demonstrates the initial results achieved in the control of pollution along the Yalu River over the past few years.

The Yalu River used to be called Ba Water, and was given the present name in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for its crystal-clear water and winding its way in the shape of a duck head. It lies between China and North Korea as a boundary river, starting from Baitou Mountain, the highest peak of Changbai Mountains on the border of the two countries in the southeast of Jilin Province in China and running southwestward into the sea at Donggou County in Dandong City of Liaoning Province. It runs for 795 kilometers, and covers an area of about 400 square kilometers. Along its banks, there are five famous resorts, namely the Shuifeng Lake, the Taiping Bay, the Tiger Mountain, the Grand Bridge and the East Port. The Yalu River was selected to be a key national resort in 1988.
