CHINA-YANGTZE RIVER ECONOMIC BELT-AERIAL VIEW (CN)

Photo taken on May 8, 2017 shows a bird's-eye view of bridges over the Wujiang River, a tributary on the southern bank of the upper reaches of Yangtze, in southwest China's Guizhou Province. The Yangtze, the world's third-longest river, runs through nine Chinese provinces and two municipalities, covering 2.05 million square km. The Yangtze River Economic Belt, which accounts for more than 40 percent of both the national population and GDP, is a new growth engine for the country, reducing the development gap between east, central and western regions.
