The Yangtze River, known as Cháng Jiāng in Chinese, is the longest river in Asia and the third-longest in the world. Flowing through picturesque landscapes and countless ecosystems, it spans an impressive length of about 6,300 kilometers (3,917 miles). The Yangtze plays a crucial role in China’s history, culture, and economy.
From its origins in the glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau, the river courses eastward across the heartlands of China before emptying into the East China Sea. The basin of the Yangtze is one of the most densely populated and economically significant regions in the world!
