Quick Facts About China
Discover China
The Great Wall crosses mountains and deserts and was built by hand long ago. Beijing's Forbidden City holds nearly 1,000 buildings with golden roofs, once home to emperors. The Terracotta Army is 8,000 life-sized warrior statues guarding a tomb. In temples, monks practice kung fu, and gardens were designed for peace.
Shanghai and Beijing have tall towers and high-speed trains. Each region cooks its own food, from Peking duck to hot pot and noodles. Pandas live in misty mountains, and the Yangtze is a vast river. Calligraphy, respect for elders, and yin and yang are part of the culture.
