The mighty Yangtze River and the mighty Yellow River are both the mother rivers of the Chinese nation and the cradle of Chinese civilization. From myths and legends, to the origin of civilization, to the economic center of gravity, the Yangtze River has never been absent.
The cultural heritage scattered on both sides of the Yangtze River tells people about the civilization journey of the ancestors who walked to glory.
Spring and Jing Tomorrow invite everyone to get closer to the source of the Yangtze River through the "Jiangtian Wanli - Yangtze River Culture Exhibition" that is being exhibited at the National Museum.

Time passes, back to the two summers of 1976 and 1978. The Yangtze River Basin Planning Office, together with relevant scientific research and news units, has successively formed a Jiangyuan expedition team to march toward the source of the Yangtze River, where no one has ever been there.
In the summer of 1976, the Jianggendiru Glacier, which reached the source of the Tuotuo River and the southwest of the Eastern Snow Mountain of Geladan, also inspected the local sections of the Chumar River and Dangqu, unveiling the source of the Yangtze River.
