yangtze river basics
The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world. Snaking its way 6,300 kilometres from western China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River stretches nine provinces and serves as a drain for 695,000 square miles of land.It is less in length only to the Amazon and Nile, and spans so many regions that it has acquired half a dozen names.Nearly 6300 km (about 4000 miles), the river is China's main artery, supporting a third of our people; it also serves as the country's major commercial waterway. Being referred as the Long River for many generations, it has always a symbolic and practical significance for the Chinese. Aside from its transit, economic and agricultural importance, the Yangzte winds through some of China's most scenic country. The common Chinese saying, ‘If you haven't travelled up the mighty Yangzte, you haven't been anywhere’, well describes the river's range of picturesque landscapes.
