The Chinese coast is more than 18,000 km long and bounded by the Gulf of Bohai, the Yellow Sea, and the East and South China Seas. More than 5,000 islands dot the China coast, the lorgest of which is Taiwan(35,380 km*km ),followed by the island of Hainan(34,380 km*km ).Politically, China is divided into 22 provinces (including Taiwan), five autonomous regions and the three municipalities of Beijing (Peking), Tianjin and Shanghai, which are directly under the central government. Capital: The capital of the People's Republic of China is Beijing(Peking). National flag: The national flag has five yellow, five-pointed stars on the upper felt part on a field of red.

National emblem: The national emblem is with the famous gate, Tianan Men, in the center, illuminated by five stars and encircled by stalks of grain and a cogwheel.China's land surface slopes from west to east and can be divided into three zones: The Qinghai-Tibet-Plateau has an average altitude of over 4,000 m. The greatest highland area of the world is located here -- the "Roof of the World"--with an average elevation of over 5,400 m. This zone covers an area of 2,200,000 km*km.The second zone begins east of the kunlun Mountains and has a mean altitude rantging from 1,000--2,000 m. The Tarim Basin, the Mongolian Highlands, the Loess Plateau of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau are part of this region. East of this, the third zone begins with hardly any elevations exceeding 500 m. The relief levels off in an eastward direction toward the China Sea. This has traditionally been the agricultural region of the country. Here Chinese culture and civilization developed, and it is today the most densely populated area.The most important rivers flow from west to east, following the topography of the land: the Huanghe, Yellow River, is 4,848 km long and the Changjiang (Yangtze) is 5,983 km in length.China's topography is characterized by harsh contrasts and varied landscapes. The Mt., Qomolangma, Mount Everest,on the China/Nepal border has an elevation of 8,848 m,the highest mountain in the world.The Turfan Depression in the autonomous region of Xinjiang is the lowest point in China --155 m below sea level.Beijing is visited by millions of guests from China and abroad every year. The city offers a bit of everything, no matter what line of interest the tourist chooses to follow. The most important sights are in the quarter around Tianamen Square with more recent buildings to the east ,south and west and the Imperial Palace to the north. Visitors on a short trip should also visit the Summer Palace, YiheYuan. Equally attractive are the temple complexes, as for example the lama temple or the complexes in Xishan, the Western Hills. A must in every program is a trip to the Great Wall.Most visitors to Beijing will get the chance to take a trip to the Great Wall. There are special daily tourist trains to Badaling, 85km north of Beijing. This pass was repaired in 1957. If one should get the chance to go by bus or by car, this is recommended, since one os not bound to a schedule and avoids the crowds which form on the wall after the train's arrival. The tour takes about two hours, no matter what means of transportation is used.Tian'an Men, Gate of Heavenly Peace 天安门On the national coat of arms of the people's Republic of China, the Gate of Heavenly Peace is reepresented as the symbol of the revolutionary new China.This is where Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. Tian'an Men is located north of Tian'anmen Square and leads to the Imperial Palae. It was built as early as 1417 and mentioned as the main gate of the former Imperial Palace,Chengtian Men.

It is 34 m high, has red stone walls, a wooden roof and five entrances A portrait of Mao Zedong hangs over the main entrance, which in earlier times only the emperor had the right to use; to the left are the signs "Long live the People's Republic of China" and to the right: "Long live the grat union between the peoples of the world." A grandstand for up to 20,000 guests is above those banners.The gate is surrounded by a ring-moat, the Golden Water Spring, which was arranged to guard the Imperial Palace. Five white marble bridges, the Golden Water Bridges, lead to the five passages of the gate. Two stone pillars stand in front of the entire complex, symbols of heavenly peace and the emperor's authority. They show a relief of dragon motifs and stylized clouds. On top sits the mythical beast Kong. Next to each piliar stands an iron lion. The gate, as well as the square in front of it, were not accessible to the public in imperial times. Often religious and military ceremonies were heeld here, imperial decrees and the results of Mandarin tests announced, and death sentences carried out.The Imperial Palace, also called the Forbidden City, is one of the country's most important sights, for it is a symbol of traditional China and likewise the biggest and best preserved masterpiece of classical architecture.The palace covers an area of 720,000 m.

Buses You buy bus tickets in the vehicle from a conductor. Simply name your destination and hold out the money; the bus company employee will give you the proper ticket. Depending on the route, you'll pay 1 - 2 yuan, or more for longer distances. Buses in large cities are for the most part overfull, and crowding is enormous-keep an eye on your valuables. The driving style of bus drivers is often astounding and reckless. My first bus ride a few years ago in Hangzhou was a formative experience: our driver didn't like to be passed and ran races with another bus. Just when it got really exciting, the police interrupted. There are four classes of travel on trains. Hard seater the cheapest seats, typically just metal with a thin plastic coating. For overnight and long trips you should avoid these; even hardened backpackers should steer clear. Don't offer your seat to an older gentleman or beautiful woman, or you'll bitterly regret it at midnight, as you try in vain to sleep in the aisle or continue standing for the nth hour. If you go to the lavatory, there is no guarantee that your seat will be unoccupied when you get back to it. Soft seateravailable on some routes (e.g. between Shanghai and Hangzhou) day and night. Hard sleepers are fully sufficient for night travel. They are open compartments with six narrow beds, with great opportunities to converse with Chinese travelers. Hard sleepers are often sold out on holidays. Soft sleeper luxury class. Here you'll encounter wealthy Chinese and executives (if, that is, they don't fly instead). Comfortable compartments for two or four people, there is nonetheless not as much space for luggage as in hard sleepers. A soft sleeper costs almost as much as a plane ticket.
