China is located in Eastern Asia. China's border is on the Pacific Ocean. China also is bordered by 14 other countries, such as Russia, Mongolia, and India. China is the world's third largest country.

__** PLACE **__ //The Great Wall of China was built by the first emperor of China in the 220BC. It was built with bricks and stone. It was built to help control the borders and bringing goods into China. It stretches a long ways on the border of China.//



//The Yangtze River in China, which is the third longest river in the world, has had a decrease in water levels. At the basin of the river it has a large population of Chinese people. This water decrease affects the irrigation and the peoples way of life. The dry season is the time when they see the most decrease. // http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169555X0100109X

//The population of China is so large that it has had impact on the environment. Because China is a large country that has a lot of economic power it has caused a lot of pollution. The air quality is so low that Chinese people will wear masks on their faces. The pictures my grandpa sent me show the crowds of people at bus stops and market places. // 

//The climate change has also impacted China. The temperature change has affected the glaciers because it is warming up and they are beginning to melt. This could cause a natural disaster so they are asking people who live near these glaciers to move. // //http://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/climate-change-impacts-chinas-environment-biophysical-impacts //

__**MOVEMENT **__ Some people move to China because the cost of living is less expensive. There are more jobs offered because China has so many different positions in so many companies. My grandpa owns a house, but houses in china are in apartment complexes. There is no yard or garages. It's cheaper and faster for him to get to work on his motorcycle. If you own a vehicle there are a lot of different laws you have to follow, like what day you can park your car on what side of the street. He was explaining to me that here in the US we barley see high end cars but there you see tons every minute or two.

//China has lots of different types of foods and different cultures. When they eat together the whole family comes and they have a huge feast. Here in the US we usually only have large dinners on holidays, but in China they like to do this a lot. //





__** REGIONS **__  China is known for their different architectural buildings. My grandpa is an architect in China and sent me a few pictures of the different buildings. We also have large buildings like in Time Square New York. China's schools are large and they have international schools as well. My uncle Davis goes to school where they teach English and Chinese, he stays overnight and only comes home on the weekends. He knows English better than most and helps the teacher translate if she needs it.



//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">China is also known for their Pagoda's where they go to worship. They are also known for their views because they are so tall. My grandpa told me that each floor goes by odd numbers. He is not exactly sure why but they do. // <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">China is famous for their Terracotta armies, which were also called “Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses”. They are sculptures made of terracotta which represent armies of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Hang. They thought that the army will protect the emperor after his death so the sculptures were buried with the him when he died in ////<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; line-height: 1.5;"> 210-209 BC. // <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 26px;">

//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">China is growing and have a lot of tourists visiting, which is causing more pollution but also helping their economy to grow. China is advancing in technology and are coming up with new improved electronics and vehicles. They also have an advanced train system call the Bullet Train, because China is so big and they have so many people living there they need more ways to travel. // <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">

//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">With the high population in China it has caused bridges and some buildings to collapse and has caused people to be concerned. China is so large and their are so many people that my grandpa told me they were trying out a new system on the sidewalks. It is a lane just for people who are texting or emailing on their phones. He said it was crazy, people bumping into each other and not even looking up to see if the other person was ok. // <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">

//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%;">China and the United States just changed an agreement with the technology trading. It will be a big step for both of us and help the United States have the newest developments in technology. The new agreement includes almost every electronic device ever invented, and there are no taxes with it anymore! //
