Next week we will begin Mainland China.
The People's Republic of China covers 3,700,000 square miles and is home to almost 1 and a half billion people.
The country is divided into 23 Provinces....which we will explore this year. Seeing the unique things each has to offer and sampling cuisine from all of them.
China has officially been The People's Republic of China and under the Chinese Communist Party since 1949 after their Civil War.
There are many religious practices here...the main language is Mandarin and the writing is Simple Chinese characters as opposed to traditional.
We will spend the rest of the year exploring all China has to offer...seeing the sights and wildlife...mountains and rivers...people and religions and languages...and of course, The Great Wall.
Come Along!
