China / Geography

China, situated at the juncture of the East Asian continent and West Pacific. Ocean, is an ancient cultural country with a history of 5, 000 years.

Here is 9.6 million square km of land, towering mountains, vast stretches of plains, calm lakes and long rolling rivers. It has a population of 1.2 billion, one-fifth of the world population and a big family of 56 ethnic groups, each with their own unique folklore.

With such a long history, it has seen the rise and fal of dozens of kingdoms and dynasties. A great and proud " middle Kingdom" has experienced thousands of years of gathering and scattering of people, not taking into consideration its unique history and culture.

Beautiful mountains and rivers, varied and colorful folklore, as well as constantly improving tourist reception facilities and the enthusiasm and standard service on offer by those in the tourist industry make China hard to resist.
