The Yangtze River,(know) in China as the Changjiang River, is the longest river in Asia and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. Flowing the Qinghai-Tibet to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River is historically, culturally and economically important to China. Driven by the (curious) in my heart, I came to China and took part in a cruise along part of the river last year.
Life on board was relaxing with plenty to occupy the time and mind. We passed Wuhan, in 1966 Chairman Mao, then in his 70s, famously swam across the Yangtze River. Glorious (temple) rise over industrial ports. We also visited the Three Gorges Dam, symbol of Chinese pride and power. As well as enormous hydroelectric (水力发电的) output, (it) increasing shipping ability benefits Chinese people quite a lot.
As a foreigner, I (impress) and charmed by the genuine welcome and unique culture during the trip. (rare), if ever, have I enjoyed such a culturally rich historically interesting trip. Now, I am looking forward to (visit) China again.
