"China" China by chewy3326

China Travel Guide: 29,467 reviews and 82,909 photos

China is the world's third largest country in size and largest in population. It's diverse, beautiful, smoggy, expansive, nostalgic, crowded, fascinating, appealing, and commercialized; there's no true way to describe China. As the world's largest Communist nation, it is now a paragon of capitalism (at least Beijing is), but while the cities are rich, the countryside is still poor. I am of Chinese descent, so I've visited China a few times. I still have some relatives scattered across the country.

A few things about China:
Population: 1.3 billion
Provinces I've visited (some of these are back from when I was a kid and my parents took me to China):
Beijing Shi
Hebei
Anhui
Shanghai Shi
Chongqing Shi
Sichuan
Guizhou
Yunnan
Jiangsu
Hubei

Places I hope to see in China in the future(some of them for a second time):
Three Gorges
Lhasa
Lijiang and Tiger Leaping Gorge
Chengde
Jiayuguan
Harbin
Guilin & Yangshou
Huangshan
Taishan
Jiuzhaigou
