Approximately 6,300 kilometers in length, the Yangtze River is ranked as the longest river in China. Originating in the Ching-Kang-Chang Plateau, the Yangtze River cuts through the mountainous Yun-Kwei Plateau, runs a craggy course into the Three Gorges and flows through a great pasture of grassland, then empties into the East China Sea as a giant dragon winding through the whole China.
This set depicts five scenic spots of the Yangtze River. The designs of the five stamps are: (1) The Origin of the Yangtze River (2) The Most Abrupt Turn of the Yangtze River (3) Roaring Tiger Gorge (4) Chutang Gorge and (5) Small Three Gorges.
