Yangtze Delta

Megalopolis in East China

The Yangtze Delta or Yangtze River Delta (YRD; Chinese: 长江三角洲; pinyin: Chángjiāng Sānjiǎozhōu or Chinese: 长三角; pinyin: Chángsānjiǎo for short), is a geographic, cultural, and economic region of China, generally considered to comprise the Direct-administered municipality of Shanghai, Southern Jiangsu, Northern Zhejiang, and parts of southern Anhui. The area lies in the heart of the historical Jiangnan region (literally meaning "south of the Yangtze"), where the Yangtze drains into the East China Sea. Historically, the fertile delta fed large populations, allowing cities and commerce to flourish.
