Yangtze River. It is 864 kilometres (537 mi) long and rises in Guizhou province in the Miao Mountains near Duyun and is navigable. The upper stream is called the Longtou River, and downstream it is called the Qingshui or Ch‘ing-shui River. It becomes the Yuan River after its confluence with its northern tributary, the Wu River
.
After its merger with the Wu River, the Yuan flows in a northeasterly direction, hugging the western side of the
Taoyuan.[1]
