The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze River. Flowing for approximately 6,300 kilometers (about 3,917 miles), it traverses central China from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to its mouth at the East China Sea. The Yangtze River holds immense cultural, economic, and ecological significance, serving as a key transportation route and a source of water for millions. It is also home to the Three Gorges Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric power stations in the world, transforming the region's energy landscape.
