5. GREAT WALL OF CHINA Portion of the Great Wall
By connecting existing sections of walled defenses, Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi constructed the first and longest section of the Great Wall of China between 221 and 204 bc. Extended under later dynasties, the Great Wall eventually became the longest human-made structure on earth, stretching about 2,400 km (about 1,500 mi). Designed to deter raids by nomadic peoples from the north, the massive earth-and-stone wall presents a formidable barrier, averaging 7.6 m (25 ft) in height and 4.6 to 9.1 m (15 to 30 ft) in width at its base.

7. CHINA CHINA OR THE “PEOPLES REQUBLIC OF CHINA” IS THE LARGEST
COUNTRY IN ASIA AND THE SECOND LARGEST IN THE WORLD. IT

BETWEEN THE LATITUDES 18 DEGREES NORTH AND DEGREES
AND THE LONGITUDES DEGREES EAST AND DEGREES

Yangzi River, China
The Yangzi River in central China, 6,300 km (3,900 mi) long, is the longest river in Asia and the fourth longest river in the world. Here, it flows through China’s Sichuan Province. The river and its tributaries serve as major inland waterways for the country.

Population Control Poster, Beijing, China
This street scene in Beijing shows a poster for the one-child population control policy instituted by the Chinese government. To curb the growth of a population already around 1.2 billion, the Chinese government has adopted numerous measures to encourage the majority of Chinese to have only one child. The more drastic measures, including coerced or forcible abortion, have attracted considerable international condemnation.

11. PHYSICAL FEATURES 1.THE NORTHERN PLAINS
CHINA CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAJOR REGIONS AS FOLLOWS:
1. THE NORTHERN PLAINS
2. THE PLAINS OF THE EAST
THE MOUNTAINOUS WESTERN REGION
THE SOUTHERN REGION OR SOUTH CHINA .
1.THE NORTHERN PLAINS
THIS INCLUDES THE PLAINS IN MANCHURIA AND NORTH CHINA IN THE VALLEY OF THE RIVER HWANG HO.

12. SOUTHERN CHINA THE PLAINS OF THE EAST
THE EASTERN PART OF CHINA COMPRIES LARGE PLAINS AND A
FEW HILLS. IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THIS REGION ARE THE VALLEYS OF THE RIVER HWANG HO. IN THE MIDDLE REGIONS ARE THE VALLEY OF THE RIVER YANGTZT-KIANG WHILE IN THE SOUTH IS THE RIVER SI-KIANG. ALSO PRESENT IN THE SOUTH OF THIS REGION ARE THE COASTAL
LOWLANDS.
SOUTHERN CHINA
THIS REGION IS SEPARATED FROM NORTHERN CHINA BY
THE TSINING MOUNTAINS. THE FERTILE YANGTZE PLAINS
LIE SOUTH OF THESE MOUNTAINS.

13. THE MOUNTAINOUS WESTERN REGION
IT IS MADE UP OF HIGH MOUNTAIN RANGES AND PLATEAUS. MANY OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGES ORIGINATE
FROM THE PAMIR KNOT. SOME OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGES
ARE KUNLUN SHAN, ALTYN TAGH AND TIEN SHAN. THE
PLATEAU OF TIBET IS SITUATED IN THIS REGION AND IS
THE WORLD.
TO THE NORTH OF TIBET AND IN WESTERN REGION
IS THE TAKLA MAKAN DESERT.

14. CLIMATE THE CLIMATE OF CHINA IS AFFECTED BY THE MONSOONS. THE
SOUTH- EAST MONSOON WINDS WHICH BLOW FROM THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA AND EAST CHINA SEA BRING RAIN TO THE SOUTHERN
AND SOUTH- EASTERN PARTS OF CHINA . THE RAINFALL DECREASES
AS WE GO FROM EAST TO WEST AND FROM SOUTH TO NORTH.

15. RIVERS THERE ARE THREE MAJOR RIVERS IN CHINA . TWO RIVERS,THE
YANGTZE- KIANG AND THE HWANG HO ORIGINATE IN THE
MOUNTAINS OF THE TIVETAN PLATEAU. THEY FLOW EASTWARDS
THROUGH MOUNTAINS CUTTING DEEP GORGES AND VALLUIS,
AND THEN THROUGH THE PLAIN AND FINALLY EMTTY
THEMSELVES IN TO THE EAST CHINA SEA AND THE YELLOW SEA
RESPECTIVELY OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

16. OCCUPATION AGRICULTURE, MINING AND INDUSTRY ARE THE THREE MAJOR
OCCUPATIONS OF THE PEOPLE OF CHINA . AGRICULTURE IS
CARRIED OUT MAINLY IN THE SOUTHERN AND EAST-ERN
REGIONS. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE RAINFALL, WHICH IS
AVAILABLE IN PLENTY AND IRRIGATION BY THE RIVERS
FILOWING IN THESE AREAS.

17. To the northwest and north of Beijing, a huge, serrated wall zigzags it's way to the east and west along the undulating mountains. This is the Great Wall, which is said to be visible from the moon.
Construction of the Great Wall started in the 7th century B.C. The vassal states under the Zhou Dynasty in the northern parts of the country each built their own walls for defence purposes. After the state of Qin unified China in 221 B.C., it joined the walls to hold off the invaders from the Xiongnu tribes in the north and extended them to more than 10,000 li or 5,000 kilometers.

18. population THE POPULATION OF CHINA IS NOW ESTIMATED AT 1114
MILLION AND IS SAID TO BE THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
THE AVERAGE DENSITY OF POPULATION IS ABOUT
PERSONS PER SQUARE KILOMETER.HOWEVER,THE DISTRIBUTION
VERIES ACCORDING TO THE AREA. THE FERTILE LANDS HAVE
AN AVERAGE DENSITY RANGING FROM TO PERSON
PER SQUARE KILOMETER.

19. CITIES: THE CAPTAL OF CHINA IS BEIJING OR PEKING AS IT USED
TO BE CALLED. IT IS THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN CHINA.
