Overview

Explore China...​ 

​China is the world’s most populous country, known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and rapid modernisation, from the Great Wall and ancient temples to bustling megacities and cutting-edge technology.

Fun Fact: The Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world, stretching over 13,000 miles - more than a tenth of Earth’s diameter! Amazingly, sticky rice was used as a key ingredient in its mortar, helping to hold the bricks together for over 1,500 years.
