Plain traverses a number of Chinese provinces (including Hubei, Jiangxi, and Hunan) and cities (including Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Wuhan). The Yangtze River and its tributaries' silt deposition helped to construct the plain. Since the plain is swampy, it is also referred to as "a swampy region". The Flood Diversion Project manages or prevents the area's propensity for flooding.

The location is good for fishing and rice farming due to its swampy terrain. It is therefore referred to as the "land of fish and rice". The area features a number of lakes, including Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Tai Lake, and Hong Lake because water is a permanent source there.

 In the past, the area was a part of the Qin, Han, and Song dynasties, among others. The Qin and Han dynasties attempted to stop flooding in the area, which helped to advance agriculture there.

Millions of people live in the area because it has the capacity to flourish in terms of a variety of economic activities. However, recent dam development, lake drying, unclean water, etc. have put the plain in danger.
