China has a highly varied climate and landscape due to its extensive topography. In the north, winters are long and cold while summers are short with much sunshine. Precipitation is limited in northwest China where winters are cold and summers are hot. South of the Nanling Mountains, rains are prolific and the temperature is high year-round. Central China sees four distinct seasons in areas like the Yangtze River valley. Climate also differs across southwest China's elevated and mountainous terrain.

2.  The Yangtze River serves as China's official dividing line between north and
south. Given the size and varied landscape of the country, there is no one
time in the year when weather is ideal in every part of China. Of course, the
warmest areas in winter are to be found in the South and Southwest, such as
Sichuan, Banna in Yunnan, and Hainan Island. In summer the coolest spots
are in the far northeast.
 China has a climate dominated by dry seasons and wet monsoons, which
leads to clear temperature differences in winter and summer. In winter,
northern winds coming from high latitude areas are cold and dry; in summer,
southern winds from sea areas at lower latitude are warm and moist.
 China climates differ from region to region because of the country's
extensive and complex topography. In the south of the Nanling Mountains,
rains are prolific and the temperature is high all year round. In the Yangtze
and Huaihe river valleys in the central part of China, there are four distinctive
seasons.
 In northeast China, summer is short but there is much sunshine, while winter is
long and cold. Precipitation is limited in northwest China where it is cold in
winter and hot in summer. In southwest China of low latitudes, the land is
elevated high, and has characteristically vertical seasonal zones.

3.  China has forest steppes, deserts Gobi
and Taklamakan, dry
regions, subtropical forests, and
extensive mountain ranges. 1.3 billion
people live in China.

4.  Mostly the Han Chinese, about 92% of the population. Large
ethnic minorities include the Zhuang (16 million), Manchu (10
million), Hui (9 million), Miao (8 million), Uyghur (7 million), Yi (7
million), Tujia (5.75 million), Mongols (5 million), Tibetans (5
million), Buyei (3 million), and Koreans (2 million)"
For Chinese people they have jobs like teachers, drivers,
office workers and builders just like any other society. And
information service , hospitality ,culture exchange and
international trade business, education business and produce
goods for developing countries are the most popular business
now in China. The lifestyle is not as developed as developing
counties but it is quit relaxing and easy everyday you can see
new things happening. For Foreigners in China some of them
are expert in industry fields work in China as engineers also
some business man start their own business in China. Since
China is fast developing now there are many opportunity for
everyone to set up their own business.

Peking duck, hot pot (Beijing),
Fotiaoqiang, popiah (Fujian), Dim sum,
slow cooked soup, siu mei, century egg

7.  China is getting better and it is definitely
starting to catch up with other developed
countries. There are extreamely rich people
there and there are also the opposite. The
rich people get rich mostly from businneses.
The poor people live of farming where they
could only afford to feed themselves. The
government is trying hard to have the
whole china to be developed, but china is
a very big place so it would take time.

8.  I picked China because I like to tease
my little cousins and tell them I’m going
to send you to China. So every where we
go or when they ask me where I am
going I say I’m going to china.

9.  China stretches some 5,000 kilometers
across the East Asian landmass in an
erratically changing configuration of broad
plains, expansive deserts, and lofty
mountain ranges, including vast areas of
inhospitable terrain. The eastern half of the
country, its seacoast fringed with offshore
islands, is a region of fertile lowlands,
foothills and mountains, desert, steppes,
and subtropical areas. The western half of
China is a region of sunken basins, rolling
plateaus, and towering massifs, including a
portion of the highest tableland on earth.
