Facts about China


This post is going to be all about Chinese facts. I am going to tell you the most interesting facts about China.

Here are some fun facts about China. The real name of China is actually The Peoples Republic of China. China belongs to the continent of Asia. It is the third largest country in the world with an area of about 3.7 million square meters. It also the largest population in the world with 1.3 billion people living there. China has the 2nd largest economy after the United States.

Most people know about Beijing, the Capitol of China but did you know that the most populated city is Shanghai?

There are many languages spoken in China. In fact there are 297 living language spoken but the most in China today. The most popular language spoken is Mandarin Chinese. Some other languages spoken there are Cantonese, Uyghur, Mongolian, Hakka Chinese, and lots more.

The Great Wall of China is the largest man-made structure in the world, stretching an incredible 8,850 kilometers (5,500 miles). In 2019 there were 645 participants running the marathon.
The Chinese flag is red with five stars on it. Red means luck in China.

The most celebrated holiday in China is Chinese New year. On that day family members give kids and other family members a red bag with money inside of it. Some places also have a dragon dance and have firecrackers. Most Chinese people or Chinese American buy new cloths and wear them so evil spirits will not recognize them.

In my opinion learning about this country is very interesting and is good to learn about different Culture and how they live.

I wish that it would be easier to find the information that you need tom know like what is the population of china or maybe facts about the Great Wall of China.
