5. Yangtze River
The Yangzte is the third largest river in the world, and flows through many parts of China before emptying into the East China Sea. It is a unique river because not only does it pass through many beautiful cities like Shanghai, Nanjiang and Wuhan, it also supports many interesting forms of marine life that travelers can observe on their cruise. Many sections of the river are now protected as nature preserves, which allows travelers an unparalleled view of the local environment, untouched by development. Many cruises pass through the amazing Three Gorges area, which has been marked as the highest level of scenic beauty in the country.
