The Yangtze river delta was formed by the Chinese Government in 1982, where 21 cities are now part of this thriving group of cities. This move was to promote development and industry in this key area in order to make these cities work more as a team and become stronger.
The result has been outstanding, with development of key cities in the Yangtze river delta at the top of the development of the entire country. The Yangtze river delta consists key cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou.
