The Long River or Longjiang (Chinese: 龙江; pinyin: Lóngjiāng; literally "Dragong River") is a river in Fujian Province of China. It starts in Hanjiang District (part of Putian Prefecture-level City), and crosses into the neighboring Fuqing City (part of Fuzhou Prefecture-level City). It flows into the Taiwan Strait in Haikou Town, Fuqing City.
The river is dammed upstream of Honglu Town; the dam forms the Dongzhang Reservoir, on the northern shore of which Dongzhang Town is located.
The Longjiang Bridge (zh:龙江桥), one of the chain of famous Song Dynasty bridges on the Fujian coastal road, spans the river near its mouth.
