Yangtze River

The Yangtze River ({{zh-cp|c=扬子江|p=Yángzǐ Jiāng}}) is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world after the Amazon in South America and the Nile in Africa. The name Yangzi Jiang, although more well known to non-Chinese, is the more historical or poetic name for the river. The more vernacular and modern Chinese name for the river is Chang Jiang ({{zh-stpl|t=長江 |s=长江|p=Cháng Jiāng|l=Long River}}), and this name is also found on many modern maps in English.
