Setting
A huge country of dramatic contrasts,
China
is an increasingly popular tourist
destination. Such iconic sights as the
Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the
Terra Cotta Army testify to
China’s
thousands of years of civilization. Its
incredible range of natural environments
include the high Tibetan Plateau, lushly
forested mountains, meandering rivers
and fertile floodplains, semitropical
coastline, grassland steppes, and vast
arid deserts. Though Han Chinese make
up 93 percent of the country’s
population,
China
is home to 55 distinct ethnic
minorities, many of whom proudly retain
their own culture and traditions.
