CHONGQING, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Linjiang River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, originates from Yongchuan District of Chongqing. The 88-km Yongchuan section of the river was once plagued by severe ecological degradation.

Thanks to a slew of ecological restoration and protection measures, the Linjiang River has seen its water quality improve greatly over the years. In 2020, the water quality of the river was graded Class III from Class V in 2017.
