520 $aThe Chinese are very proud of their great river, the Yangtze. It's importance to the Chinese economy has earned it the name of 'The Golden Waterway'. We follow its incredible 6,300 kilometre journey through some amazing landscapes; from rice paddies to dramatic gorges, and over vast plains until we reach the heavily urbanised delta, where the Yangtze ends its journey in the East China Sea. By 2009, a section of the river and its surrounding area will, controversially, become part of the world's biggest reservoir. Much of what we will see on this stretch of the journey may be underwater in a few years time and will be changed forever! We find out why this is happening, and about the people and places that line this fascinating river.
