What is the longest river in China called?

The longest river in China is the Yangtze River, which is also known as Chang Jiang. The river unofficially divides China into North and South China. The river is about 6.400 kilometers long.

Stargazer, there were four choices, the fourth of which was Yangtze. Sometimes, depending on the length of the question and the size of the picture, one or more answers disappear off the bottom of the screen and you have to scroll up to see them. It's one of the annoying aspects of this app - it's happened to me a few times!

wayne padgette, The Yangtze river is known as 长江 (Cháng Jiāng) in Chinese. The Yellow river is known as 黄河 (Huáng Hé). They are two different rivers, the Yellow being the second longest river in China, after the Yangtze.

wayne padgette, I guessed that one and it was marked wrong.

The question about the longest river in China was and of the three choices I picked the yellow river but the correct answer was the Yangtze River which wasn’t one of the choices. Has this happened to anyone else?
