The Yangtze River, Asia, China's first river length of 6397 km. It originated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Tanggula pull Dandong snow-capped mountains of the main peak is the world's third longest, behind the Nile and the Amazon River, water is also third in the world. In 2001, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Remote Sensing Applications of experts under the auspices of Shao-Chong, using satellite remote sensing image measurement and calculation, measurement results are accurate to two decimal places. The Yangtze River measured the length of 6211.31 kilometers. To when the song as the source of the Yangtze River measured, we generally call it 6300 kilometers or 6370 kilometers. The average annual income of more than 9600 billion cubic meters of seawater volume. A total area of 1.8085 million square kilometers, accounting for the total land area of 1 / 5. It is a long history, gave birth to Chinese civilization gave birth to the Chinese nation and nurtured generation after generation of Chinese sons and daughters, and the Yellow River, together known as the "Mother River."
The Yangtze River from west to east is about 3,219 kilometers from north to south more than 966 kilometers. The Yangtze River flows through: Qinghai - Qinghai - Tibet - Sichuan - Yunnan - Hubei - Hunan - Jiangxi - Anhui - Jiangsu - Shanghai - East China Sea. Originated in western China, in whole or in part of the flow through, including the Tibet Autonomous Region, including 13 provinces and autonomous regions. River Basin uneven population distribution; of the most densely populated central and eastern China in the adjoining plains of the Yangtze River and its tributaries, watershed the least densely populated western area. 3 / 4 of the above process through the mountains.
The Yangtze River in Sichuan Province, Yibin City and Yichang City, Hubei Province, between the upstream, more than beaches and swift rivers; from Yichang to Hukou, Jiangxi, between the mid-stream, meandering stream developed, more lakes (Poyang largest followed by the Dongting Lake); Hukou The following is downstream, river width, there is water deposited by Jiangkou Chongming Island. Yangtze River water and water rich in natural resources
Available for the development of the Yangtze River water reached a total of 200 million kilowatts, is China's richest river water. The Yangtze River navigable mileage of up to more than 2800 kilometers, known as the "golden waterway," said.
The Yangtze River in Chongqing, Yichang, Hubei Province of Fengjie below the magnificent Three Gorges section of the river dangerous.The world's largest water control project in the Xiling Gorge Three Gorges Project on the middle section of Sandouping.
In the "Yangtze River", under the general name, and some section of the river have its own name. This is the Yangtze River and Yellow River significantly different point. In 1958, the Yangtze River in Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in the vicinity of a test had measured more than 30 meters water depth of the river the next off between Pukou 40 meters have been measured, in the Jiangxi and Hubei junction a place where a cow has been closed Angeles measured 103 meters depth, but the depth of the Yangtze River estuary is only 10 meters, and sometimes even interfering with normal navigation.
The Yangtze River basin for the Yangtze River's longest human habitation in the world. Was found in Anhui Province Jiangbei Homo erectus fossils, a few of the sites containing human remains, especially in the lake around has been found. Although China's political history over North China and the Yellow River basin as the center, the Yangtze River region for its agricultural potential, but while the dynasties has always been of great economic significance. In addition to the Yangtze River upper reaches of the Chengdu Plain, the east to the Three Gorges area, northwest Ganzi, Aba in south-west to the tranquil River, Yalong River, have the site found that.
The middle reaches of the Yangtze River throughout the Neolithic site of almost Jianghan region, particularly the distribution of dense Jianghan Plain, only the Neolithic sites have been found in Hubei have 450 multiple, after discovery and trial excavation of a 60 multiple, multi-concentrated in middle reaches of Hanjiang River and the Yangtze River middle and lower reaches convergence of Jianghan plain.
River Basin are relatively good irrigation; average annual rainfall of about 1100 millimeters (43 inches). The Yangtze River is great.
The Yangtze River is China's major river transport, passenger and freight transport-intensive. A continuation of the Yangtze River is the sea, inland and coastal port and other major cities, even as a transport network, including Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing, a major role.
Yangtze great resources of energy production, but did not receive a large-scale development. |
