How many meters deep is the Yangtze River?

The Yangtze River is 103 meters deepest.

In 1958, during experiments in the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge area of ??the Yangtze River, the water depth in the river was measured to be more than 30 meters, and between the mouth of Xiaguan and Pukou was measured to be 40 meters. There is a place called Niuguanji at the junction of Jiangxi and Hubei. A depth of 103 meters has been measured in some places, but the depth of the Yangtze River Estuary is only about 10 meters, which sometimes even affects normal navigation.

Looking from the periphery of the Yangtze River Basin, it is connected to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the "Roof of the World", to the west and the vast Pacific Ocean to the east, and is affected by the East Asian monsoon circulation. These factors determine that the Yangtze River Basin has a variety of climate types, especially the significant differences between east and west climates.

The Jiangyuan area has a typical plateau climate, which can be summarized as cold, dry, low air pressure, long sunshine, and frequent hail and strong winds. The annual average temperature is -4.4°C, and the annual average precipitation is between 150 and 500 mm, more in the southeast and less in the northwest.
