A delta formed by the Yangtze River, spreading across southern Jiangsu Province and Shanghai in China. In China it is called the Yangtze River Delta. Topographically, it apex is near the northern edge of the Ningzhen Hills between Nanjing and Zhenjiang, and spreads north and south along the current course of the Yangtze River. On the north bank, an old sandbar line runs from Yangzhou along the Tongyang Canal to Taizhou and Haian, and on the south bank, a line runs southeast from Zhenjiang through Jiangyin, Changzhou, Taicang, Songjiang, and Fengxian. It is thought to be the remains of the coastline that advanced furthest inward as a result of the postglacial sea level rise about 6,000-7,000 years ago.
