Flowing through China, it stretches approximately 6,300 kilometers (3,900 miles) from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to its mouth at the East China Sea near Shanghai. The Yangtze River plays a crucial role in China's history, culture, and economy, serving as a vital transportation route, a source of irrigation for agriculture, and a generator of hydroelectric power.
