Map of China
VioletStar October 29th, 2006
I know a lot of people are looking for a map of China. Here is one. Do you notice that the shape of China is in a shape of chicken? Beijing, the capitial is in the north eastern part of China. There are two important river: Yellow River (Huang He) and Yangtse River (Chang Jiang).
To Chinese, Beijing is like Washington DC in USA; and Shanghai is like New York City. Hong Kong was a British colony until July 1997 when it was returned to Republic of China. Yet Hong Kong still has its own legislative system, currency and economic system etc. Macau was returned to China in 1999. The major business in Macau is Casino and tourism.
