History of the Yangtze River explores the longest river in China and the third longest in the world, the famous Yangtze River, which spans a distance of over 6,300 kilometers (3,900 miles). Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has played a vital role in irrigation. It also plays an important role in China’s transport and shipping industry, as the main artery of inland waterways in China and can allow navigation of ships heavier than 3,000 tons. Most recently, many water conservancy projects have been built along the river. This majestic river is a symbol of the profound history of Chinese civilization and its bright future.
