largest country, after Russia and Canada. With an area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a
coastline of 18,000 kilometers, its shape on the map is like a rooster. It reaches Mohe in
Heilongjiang Province as its northern end, Zengmu Ansha (or James Shoal) to the south, Pamirs to
the west, and expands to the eastern border at the conjunction of the Heilongjiang (Amur) River
and the Wusuli (Ussuri) River, spanning about 50 degrees of latitude and 62 degrees of longitude.
• People tend to divide China into four regions, that is, the North, South, Northwest and the
Qinghai-Tibetan areas. Because of geographical differences, residents of each region have
distinctive life styles and customs.
• The North and South regions are located in the Eastern monsoon area and are divided by the Qin
Mountains-Huai River. Nearly 95 percent of the Chinese population lives here. The other two
regions, the Northwest and Qinghai-Tibetan regions that occupy 55 percent of the land, have
fewer people, although most of the ethnic groups cluster there.
