China is associated primarily with cheap labor, fakes of well-known clothing brands and rice noodles. All these facts will come to the mind of a man unrecorded and limited, which refers to the Chinese condescendingly and arrogantly. Modern China is a global economic leader that transfers only Japan, with a rich history, hardworking population and well-maintained resorts. If you have not knew anything to anything about China as a popular tourist destination, we recommend that you correct this misunderstanding.
Geography
Pretty large territory of East Asia (9.6 million square meters of km) is occupied by this country. Although when you find out what population in China, its area seems negligible. After all, indeed, how can one fit 1 billion 300 million people on this block of land? When you learn a little more about this culture, you will understand how it succeeds.
China's neighbors abound. When you count their number (total - 13, and it is only on land!), You understand why it was necessary to build a great Chinese wall. Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Burma, Laos, Vietnam - All these countries have an land border with the People's Republic of China. By sea, it borders with Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunhem. By the way, the sea in China is not one, their whole three: yellow, East-Chinese and South China.
China climate
This country has extended along three climatic belts, and therefore the temperature indicators in the country differ depending on the region.
A moderate continental climate in the north is not much different from the climate in the central regions of Russia: in the winter there is about -7⁰, and in the summer + 22 ° C. The center of the country with its subtropical climate has almost the same indicators: from 0 to -5 ° C in winter and + 20 ° C in summer. This is due to the high humidity of the winter winter here is softer and warm, and summer is cooler. But the south of the country can really treat the warmth of tourists and locals, where tropical monsoon masses prevail. In the summer, the temperature here reaches + 25⁰, and in winter - from + 6 ° C to + 15⁰С. But the island of Hainan is a separate place in the climatic map. This is the hottest and sunny place in all China, where you can rest all year round.
Visa to visit China
For Russians, entry into the PRC is impossible without a visa. Although there is one "but": Russian citizens are provided with the right of visa-free stay in a special administrative district of the PRC - Hong Kong for a period of no more than 14 days.
