China's longest river, Yangtze River or Chang Jiang in Chinese, is also its best-known geographical phenomenon, inspiring a combination of pride, awe and sadness. Its 6,300kms (4,000 miles) length begins in the west of Qinghai and winds its way through eight provinces in central China before flowing into the East China Sea near Shanghai.
