Yangtze River, China
The Yangtze, or Changjiang River, is the longest river in China. It originates from the Tanggula Range in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with headwaters originating in a glacier 5,400 meters (17,717 miles) high. The main stream flows in an orderly fashion through Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai then enters the East China Sea. The length of 6,300 km (6,890 yards) makes the Chinese mother river the third longest river in the world.

As the cradle of the Chinese people, its reaches also abound in cultural relics, attractive landscapes, and distinctive customs, all worth a visit.
