The Yangtze River ranks the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world, second only to the Amazon River in South America and the Nile in Africa. There are abundant resources in the vast Yangtze River basin. Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has been China's most important economic zone for agriculture. Today, the Yangtze River has become an important base of economic development across both east to west and north to south, supported by the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone centered in Shanghai, the Central China Economic Zone centered in Wuhan and the Southwest Economic Zone centered in Chongqing. Over the years, the Sichuan basin along the Yangtze River has been praised as the “Land of Abundance”，while Hubei and Hunan provinces are often called “a land flowing with milk and honey”.
