The Yangtze river in China is the longest river in Asia (6300 km) and the 3rd longest river in the world. The modern Chinese name is Chang Jiang which means "long river". The Yangtze flows from its source in the Qinghai province eastwards through some large gorges into the East China Sea at Shanghai. This picture gave me a peaceful yet adventurous feeling. The two people on the river boat are involved in their work as they sail along the Yangtze against the backdrop of the river shoreline and forested mountains.
