The longest river in the world is the Nile, the second is the Amazon, and the third is the Yangtze River.

1. Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is the longest river in China, with a total length of 6,397 kilometers, originating in the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is also the mother river of China. It winds its way through parts of China's 11 provinces and autonomous regions, into the East China Sea, and finally into the Pacific Ocean.

Compared to the Yellow River, China's second largest river, the Yangtze River has a more important transport capacity. Compared to the Nile Basin, the largest river in the world, we are much more developed and wealthy here.

2. Yellow River. With a total length of 5,464 kilometers and a total basin area of 10,000 square kilometers, it is the fifth largest river in the world and the second largest river in China. It is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization.

Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau of China and carries a large amount of sediment, it is also known as the river with the highest sediment content in the world.

3. Heilongjiang.

There are two kinds**, North and South. The Erguna River in the south is the source of the river with a total length of 4,440 km, and the Krulun River is the source of the river with about 5,498 km. The basin covers an area of 10,000 square kilometers, and the Heilongjiang River basin is vast.

The basin includes China, Russia, Mongolia and North Korea, with a total of 15 first-level administrative regions. The Heilongjiang River is the third largest river after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

The Yangtze River, the longest river in China.

The Yangtze River is the longest river in China, passing through many provinces across the country, and each section of its main stream and tributaries brings great convenience to the cities it passes through. In the main stream and tributaries of the Yangtze River, the use of their high terrain in the west and low in the east can develop hydropower generation, flood control, urban water supply, tourism, irrigation, etc., and the utilization and protection of water and soil resources as a whole and in parts.

The Yangtze River, the longest river in China, originates in the southwest of Geladan Dongfeng in the Tanggula Mountains, known as the "roof of the world", and is a unique river in China. The Yangtze River is 6,300 kilometers long, and its main stream runs from west to east throughout central China, with numerous tributaries.

The origin of the Yangtze River

The Yangtze River, China's longest river, originated 30 million to 40 million years ago in the Himalayas. This movement caused the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to uplift, the ancient Mediterranean Sea disappeared, and the Yangtze River basin rose intermittently, so that the eastern part of the Yangtze River was gentle, and the western part of the Yangtze River was sharp.

There are more than 3,600 navigable rivers in the Yangtze River basin, and the combined mileage of these navigable rivers reaches 7 by 10 km. 70% of the country's inland river navigation mileage is in the Yangtze River basin. The density of the Yangtze River transportation network per 100km is more than three times the national average.

The advantages of the Yangtze River water system shipping network and its status and role in the country's inland waterways should not be underestimated.
