The uniqueness of traveling in China
The river of China history is long and old. The recognized earliest human-beings living in China was sinanthropus, over 700 thousand years ago.
China was one of the four “Old Civilizations” in the world, five thousand years in record.
From Tang Dynasty (about 600-900 AD) on, merchants in coastal area began to sail to other countries. In September and October every year, they would sail with northeast monsoon to Southeast Asia and ran business there. The next year, they return to homeland with southeast monsoon in March or April. These are the first oversea Chinese into Southeast Asian.
After Tang Dynasty, people in other countries got used to calling Chinese people at home or abroad “Tang Ren” (Tang People), and the place they lived were called “Tang Ren Jie”(China Town)
Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368 AD) expanded the widest territory in Chinese history, and it divided the whole country into provinces as was more convenient to rule. Its capital city Dadu, the business center at its time, is today’s Beijing. 。
Before and after its foundation, Yuan Dynasty had never ceased its greed for land. Wars forged by it reached as far as to the Danube area. It changed the world.
In the peak of her power, China rendered great impact on the world, and also gave herself a tint of mystery for today’s visitors.
Only ranking after Russia and Canada, China is the third biggest country in the world in terms of land. The territory is 9.6 million square kilometers, a area almost equal to the whole Europe.
Locating on the boarder that separates China from India and Nepal, China’s highest mountain range, Himalayas, whose main peaks stands 6000 meters above sea level on average, is also? the world’s highest.
The Interior Mongolia Plateau is the second biggest plateau in China. It is level and most part of it is endless grassland, indeed,? the biggest temperate grassland in the world.
China is the hometown of porcelain, known as “East Porcelain Land”. Jingde Town is called “porcelain town” in China.
It seems that the world should know more about China. The mention of “China” always leads people to big cities as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’ an, the capital cities in ancient times or modern metropolis at present. However, it is at the corners of China that there are Chinese traditional culture, convention, amazing nationalities, and mysterious landscape, little known to the world. Even Chinese people know little about these people and their life style, because they live in remote area out of tourists’ reach.
