The world’s third largest country has
some of its finest scenery. The Mekong River is one of the most
extraordinary rivers in the world, arising in the vast Tibetan Plateau.
This plateau is the largest and highest plateau in the world, with tens
of thousands of glaciers including the Rongbuk, Midui and Hailuogou that
eventually help feed the Mekong and many other rivers. If regarded as a
canyon, the Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon is certainly the largest on Earth,
stretching over 300 miles in length and attaining a mind boggling
maximum depth of almost 20,000 feet near Mount Namcha Barwa in the
Himalayas.
And of course the Himalayas are probably the ultimate visual
highlight of the great country of China. Everest and Mount Qogir, the
two tallest mountains on earth, are both on the border of China. Nine of
the world’s fourteen ‘Eight Thousanders’ are in China or on the Chinese
border. Aside from the Himalayas, Mount Hua, Mount Tianmen and mount Tianzi are stunning. The Detian Falls, on the border with Vietnam, have been listed as some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and the hills of Guanxi province are utterly astonishing.
As if that wasn’t enough, China has urban beauty and cultural beauty that rivals anywhere on the planet. Its cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, are world famous and in a prominent list Hong Kong has recently been rated one of the world’s most beautiful. The Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall of China are just three of the magnificent ancient structures that justify China’s place in the most beautiful countries on earth.
