The mighty Yangtze River flows down from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, from Bashu to Jingchu, and then from Wuyue to the sea. It is a golden waterway carrying the hope of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, carrying the nostalgia of the past generations, and has been running from ancient times to today. Entering a new era, Hubei Province, located at the "waist of the Yangtze River", with its unique strategic location in the regional development pattern, has thoroughly implemented the important strategic thinking of General Secretary Xi Jinping on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt

More than 6300 kilometers of the Yangtze River golden waterway, hundreds of tributaries are densely distributed in the west and east, vast and surging. 691 km is the "journey" of the Yangtze River in Chongqing; 30 billion cubic meters is the water capacity of Chongqing section of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area. If the Yangtze River is compared to a giant dragon, Chongqing, located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is a worthy "dragon head" in terms of ecological protection. If the "dragon head" is not well controlled, it will inevitably bring adverse effects on the ecological environment in the middle and lower reaches.

The autumn moon in the Dongting Lake grows in the center of the lake, and the layers are as vast as melting gold. In China's vast territory, the Yangtze River is like a dragon running across the east and west, like a lever connecting coastal economies. The most important pivot of this lever is Dongting Lake, which is located in the south of Hunan, Ziyuan, Yuanli rivers, and north of Songzi, Taiping, Ouchi, and Tiaoxian. Today, the fulcrum of the river and lake not only leverages the thousand year friendship between Hunan and the Yangtze River, but also promotes the new journey of high-quality development of Hunan.

The Yangtze River flows through He County, Anhui Province into Jiangsu Province. From Nanjing to Nantong, it flows through 8 cities. The river is wide and deep. There are about 369 kilometers of deep-water waterways in the 425 kilometers of the whole line, known as the Yangtze River in ancient times. In the opinion of Zheng Yan, director of Jiangsu Provincial Government Research Office, if the Yangtze River is likened to a giant dragon, Jiangsu section is just at the neck of the dragon, and its status and role are irreplaceable. The Yangtze River in Jiangsu is a veritable mother river

Standing in Shigu Town, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, you can see the Jinsha River circling around the mountain and drawing a beautiful curve, leaving a wide alluvial valley. The turbulent river rested here, then turned around and poured thousands of miles into the East China Sea, completing the mission of "cultivating China in the Gulf". Today, the two banks of Jinsha River are full of flowers and fruits, providing precious water for the provinces and cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

"The water of Wujiang River finally returns to its memory, which is not much different from that of more than 20 years ago." Zhao Wenquan, who is nearly 60 years old, sighed as he strolled along the Wujiang wharf, looked at the blue waves and green water, and felt the breeze facing him. As the "mother river" of Guizhou, the surging Wujiang River not only nurtures the land here, but also carries the good memories of the local people when they were children. At that time, it was almost the best choice for Zhao Wenquan to have an outing and go fishing with friends by the Wujiang River in his spare time.

Vast and mighty, the Yangtze River runs from west to east all the way down. When it flows through Jiangxi, it turns a corner quietly, leaving a 152 km shoreline. Ganjiang River, Fuhe River, Xinhe River, Raohe River and Xiuhe River all converge into Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, and merge into the Yangtze River through the mouth of the lake. "Five rivers, one lake and one river" together feed more than 40 million Jiangxi "old timepieces". Among the 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, only Jiangxi and Guizhou are national ecological civilization pilot areas.

The vast river flows from Xiaogushan in Susong of Anqing to Jiangsu from Ma'anshan and Wujiang Town of County, running through five cities of Anqing, Chizhou, Tongling, Wuhu and Ma'anshan. The Anhui section of the Yangtze River is affectionately known as the "800 li Wanjiang River". Eight hundred miles along the Wanjiang River, singing, carries the dream of taking off. As an important node province of the Yangtze River Economic Belt connecting the east and the west, Anhui is green, innovative and entrepreneurial, welcoming the world with open arms, and sailing on the high-quality development channel.

The 6300km long golden waterway of the Yangtze River joins the Qiantang River in Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province, and blends into the East China Sea. If the Yangtze River Delta is the "dragon head" of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, then Zhejiang, as an important link between the preceding and the following, is in the position of "longan". This is the finishing touch. Integrating into the Yangtze River Economic Belt is not only an inevitable requirement for Zhejiang to take the road of ecological priority and green development, but also a key measure to jointly create a new mechanism for coordinated development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

The gentle and graceful Minjiang River and the surging Jinsha River, after thousands of miles of attack, embrace each other in Yibin, southern Sichuan, and converge into the surging Yangtze River, all the way to the east, singing happily. From the trickle of the Northwest Sichuan Plateau to the mighty Yangtze River in the south of Sichuan, 96.5% of Sichuan belongs to the Yangtze River basin, contributing 27% of the Yangtze River's water. It is an important ecological barrier and water conservation area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and is very important for the ecological security of the middle and lower reaches.

Drink a river together and rush into the sea. The vast Yangtze River stretches for more than 6300 kilometers day and night, like a golden belt, outlining the most beautiful chapter of China's economy. Shanghai, located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, is the economic center of China and the "dragon head" of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. How to "dance" the dragon, which leads the high-quality development of the country, is the important task of "leading".
