The Yangtze River freight transportation held the important position in inland water transportation in our country.

Inland river freight costs are historically high for a tight supply of barges, increased operating costs, and higher demand moving commodities upbound on the major rivers.

The origins of the distinctive horse-drawn freight wagon known as the Conestoga wagon can be traced to the Conestoga River region of Pennsylvania's Lancaster County in the mid - to late-18th century.
