Yangtze-runs through China.\n\nThe Yangtze River or Chang Jiang is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world after the Nile in Africa and the Amazon in South America. \nThe river originates in a glacier in the Dangla mountains on the eastern part of Tibetan plateau. It then runs through the eastern part of Qinghai, turning southward down a deep valley at the border of Sichuan and Tibet to reach Yunnan. In the course of this valley, the river's elevation drops from above 5000 m to less than 1000 m. It enters the basin of Sichuan at Yibin. While in the Sichuan basin it receives several mighty tributaries, increasing its water volume significantly. The river then cuts through Mount Wushan bordering Chongqing and Hubei to create the famous Three Gorges. Eastward of the Three Gorges, Yichang is the first city on the Yangtze Plain. After entering Hubei, the Yangtze receives more water from thousands of lakes. The largest of the lakes is Dongting Lake, which is located on the border of Hunan and Hubei provinces, and is the outlet for most of the rivers in Hunan. At Wuhan it receives its biggest tributary, the Han River, bringing water from its northern basin as far as Shanxi. At the northern tip of Jiangxi, another lake, Lake Boyang merges into the river. The river then runs through Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, receiving more water from innumerable smaller lakes and rivers, and finally reaches the East China Sea at Shanghai. Actually, four of China's five main freshwater lakes contribute their waters to the Yangtze River. Traditionally, the upstream part of the Yangtze River refers to the section from Yibin to Yichang; the middle part refers to the section from Yichang to Hukou, where Boyang Lake meets the river; the downstream part is from Hukou to Shanghai.

Some competing information here.  So here's a reference for you to check,\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_(North_America)\n\n"The Great Lakes are (west to east, general direction of water flow):\n\nLake Superior (the largest and deepest, larger than Scotland or South Carolina) \nLake Michigan (the only one entirely in the U.S., the second largest in volume) "\n=============================\n\n"Lake Michigan, the second largest Great Lake by volume with just under 1,180 cubic miles of water, is the only Great Lake entirely within the United States." http://www.great-lakes.net/lakes/michigan.html\n\n"Not only is Lake Superior the largest of the Great Lakes, it also has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake in the world." http://www.great-lakes.net/lakes/superior.html

RIVERS THAT FLOW NORTH \n"To many Americans . . . , north is the wrong way for a river to flow,  which leads to geographic confusion." \n-- Angus Phillips, "Simple Gifts of the Shenandoah", National Geographic, December 1996\n\n"The important thing to remember is that to a river, or more precisely to the drops of water that make up the river, "down" has nothing to do with compass points -- with latitude or longitude -- only with altitude."\n\n2Surprisingly, four of the world's ten longest rivers flow generally in a northern direction. The Nile in Africa, the Ob-Irtysh and the Lena in Eurasia and the Mackenzie-Peace in North America."\n\nLots more information at the site below
