River cruises on the Yangtze river
The Yangtze River, Asia’s longest river, courses nearly 4,000 miles through China, from the glacial heights of the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea near Shanghai. Along its vast journey, the river traverses diverse landscapes—from the steep gorges of Sichuan and the mystical limestone peaks of Chongqing to the fertile plains and bustling cities of the eastern lowlands. Revered for thousands of years, the Yangtze has been the cradle of Chinese civilization, nurturing ancient cultures, agricultural communities, and vibrant trade hubs. Today, it is both a lifeline and a landscape of transformation, where traditional villages stand alongside modern metropolises, and engineering marvels like the Three Gorges Dam reshape its waters.
