China
Just like the Great Wall of China, the history of China is very long and winding. Beginning with the Xia Dynasty in 2000 BCE China was unified under dynastic rule until 1912. In 1912, the nationalists overthrew the Qing Dynasty to form the Republic of China. With the exception of the Japanese occupation, the Chinese Nationalists remained in control until 1949 when they were overthrown by People’s Liberation Army. As a result, the Communist Party of China currently retains firm political control of mainland China. China is geographically the second largest country in the world behind Russia. As a result, China contains a very diverse landscape within its 3.7 million square miles. My China Travel adventure began in Xi’an and extended to Sichuan Province, Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hainan and finally Taiwan.
