National Geographic Countries of the World: China
Sinopsis :
National Geographic invites you to journey through China in a
vibrant book that profiles the country's extensive geography, its
storied history, and its rich culture. You'll also examine the
growing role modern China plays in today's global economy.
Travel with the experts deep into this land of diverse people
and see the wide range of landscapes, from vast plateaus to
the great timber forests. Witness the Yangtze River in the east,
yaks and gazelle in the wilderness of the west, and rare
pandas as they prowl their natural habitat. Wander through the
past, along the Great Wall of China, built to ward off enemies
of a mighty empire. Experience the effects of Mao's Cultural
Revolution, and learn how political tensions with neighbors like
Taiwan and Hong Kong play against China's policy of
welcoming tourists. Finally, examine how modern industrial

China is balancing the traditions of the past with the demands
of the future.
