China is the third largest country in the world and has an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, or one-fifteenth of the worlds land mass. With a rich history of dynasties, emperors and a revolution, the people of China are fascinating, and not shy in number. The total population of china is just over 1.3 billion people, the world’s most populous country. Among the constant bustle of people riding bicycles and children playing games you can see glimpses of their deeply rooted past mixed with the powerful expansion of present day modernization. 2011 is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, which is a sign of good luck.
