Yang-Tse Cheng, often spelled as Yangtze River, refers to China's longest river and the third-longest river in the world. The Yangtze River flows for about 6,300 kilometers (3,917 miles) through several provinces in China, from its source in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west to its mouth in the East China Sea near Shanghai. The Yangtze River plays a crucial role in China's ecology, economy, and culture.
