Geography of China and Environmental Issues (CCALS #6)

China is one of the five largest countries in the world, and its climates range from sub-arctic to tropical. China's northernmost point, near the small city of Mò Hé, is about as far north as Hamburg, Germany or Edmonton, Canada. The southernmost point of China's mainland territory (excluding islands) is about as far south as Havana, Cuba and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Because it is so large, China borders many different countries--14 in all!

Topics covered include:
China's terrain
China's rivers
China's agriculture
China's climate
Demographics
Provinces
Autonomous Regions
Municipalities
Special Administrative Regions
