One quarter of the world lives in China, a vast diverse country of the Asian continent. Its ancient civilization emerged from farming villages along rivers and grew from small kingdoms into the present immense nation of 56 ethnic groups. imagesCAEBUHF8

Their language, writing, art, food and farming influenced many other Asian cultures.


China is an enormous country with a great variety of landscape and climate. The third largest country in the world–exceeding in area only by Russia and Canada, China occupies most of the eastern part of the mainland of Asia.

     China wildlife  includes the golden-haired monkey, the red-crowned crane, and the giant panda.
