The Yalu River marks the North Korean-China border. Since UN forces were not officially at war with China (despite the fact China was an active participant in the conflict), UN forces were unable to continue their advance.
avoid closing in on the China border at the Yalu river
MacArthurs' advance toward the Yalu River caused China to intervene, thus causing the UN forces to fall back in disarray

i think you mean 鸭绿江(the Yalu River)
The United States never invaded North Korea, past or present. During the Korean war (1950 - 1953) UN forces pushed North Korean forces up to the Yalu River which bordered China.
Very far :P ------------------- UN forces went all the way to the Yalu River (the border between North Korea and China). Had China not jumped in, there would not be a divided penninsula today.
Very unstable. The North almost completely overran the South, only to be pushed back to the Yalu river by the UN, until China joined and pushed the UN back south.
in the Korean war this is where Mac Arthur of the united states goes around and caught the invading north Korea off guard while U.N. forces pushed out of their trapped position in Pusan and pushed invading North Korean forces to the Yalu River which borders china.
By November 1950, UN troops had reached the city of Chosan (now called Hyesan) in North Korea, which is located near the China-North Korea border. This marked the northernmost point that the UN forces had reached during the Korean War.
