Abstract: More and more geophysical and borehole data accumulated in the Pearl River Estuary with the economic development which offer the possibilities to rebuilt the sedimentary history of the paleo-channels since Late Pleistocene. The paper analysis the shape, distribution and sedimentary environment of the paleo-channels in the Pearl River Estuary based on 2000 km high resolution shallow seismic profiles combine with borehole and chronology data, a paleo Pearl River pattern was rebuilt since Late Pleistocene in today's estuary.
