These well-known or unknown countless river islands in all sizes are located along the Yangtze River which extend hundreds of kilometers. Let’s talk about some of them now.

Jiangjin Zhongba Island

It is located more than 100 kilometers away from Chongqing main urban districts. People only use a few iron-shell motor boats to connect the island because there is no bridge. Zhongba Island covers an area of 20,000 square kilometers with over 1,000 inhabitants. Its featured crops include sugarcane, longan and black peanuts, among which the sugarcane planting area is more than 800 mu. Due to the traffic, the delicious longan is only 3 yuan per jin.

Banan Nanxian Island

Nanxian Island is the main residence for villagers of Bajiao Village, in which they can mainly plant black sesame seeds. The black sesame seeds are richer in nutritional value than those in other places because they grow on the sand of Yangtze River. The first dynamic delta wing aviation training base has settled on Nanxian Island. When it is sunny, Nanxian Island will become a place for citizens to realize their flying dreams.
