China: Travelling & Vacation

China is one of the largest countries in the world, with a very long history.

China is west of Japan, south of Russia and north of India. Since the Chinese Civil War, today's China is from two different republics.

The Republic of China is the continuation of the republic for the Chinese Civil War. A large part of the Chinese mainland was covered, but now only consists of the island of Taiwan and several smaller islands.

The People's Republic of China includes mainland China. In 1950, Tibet was annexed, in 1997 and 1999 respectively, the former British colony of Hong Kong and the former Portuguese colony of Macao. As a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China were combined.

In 2008, China held the Olympics in Beijing.

The restrained, but hospitable people will welcome tourists, but is always somewhat the cat out of the tree look.
