China - Land of Ancient Legends - Land of Dynasties
.....
China, with a recorded history of
5,000 years, was one of the world's earliest cvilizations. It is the most
populous country in the world, and third largest in geographic area. China
has shared borders for centuries with Korea, the Soviet Union, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma, Laos and Vietnam.
China is
a multi-racial country, with the Han nationality representing over 90% of the
population. Spoken languages are Mandarin and over 50 other
dialects. As a written language, Chinese has been used for 6,000
years.
Beijing, the present heart of China, is a city rich in the
remnants of China's imperial past, which you sense from the Forbidden City,
Temple of Heaven, The Great Wall, and the fast-disappearing Hutongs.
The ancient capital for more than 1000 years, Xi'an is one of the first
cultural cradles of China. It was an end-point of the Silk Road, and the
famous Terracotta Soldiers still stand guard over Qin Shihuang's tomb.
Shanghai is China's most dynamic and vibrant city often called 'Paris in
the East'. It is here that one finds the Bund, Nanjing Road and
Pudong.
Guilin and the Li River reveal the misty, memorable limestone
hills. The peaks of Mountain Qixing are part of the tale of seven stars in
the north sky falling down to the earth. Hong Kong, the 'city of
active' has recently come home to China with its Victoria Peak,
Kowloon, Star Ferry, the tranquil fishing village of Abeerden, and beautiful
Repulse Bay.
The Yangtze River is longest river in China, and third
longest in the world. It is on this river that one finds The Three Gorges,
Qutang Wu, Yichang, Chongqing Dazu, and Xiling Gorge. There are many of
destinations that highlight China including Yangshuo, Luoyang, Hangzhou,
Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, the exotic images of the Silk Road, and
the ethnic minority cultures in the southwest part of the country.
China
is forever linked to its ancient civilization, friendly people, and many
of the world's most revered treasures.
China 
is truly the Land of Ancient
Legends and the Land of Dynasties.
