These Photos Are All About China And Include Pictures Of China People, Food, And Cities.

Fishing boat pictures, lollipop making, pork meat, and new apartments, are some of the subjects of the photos which are all about China. The photos were taken at different times on different visits, but are all of China and show Chinese people in different situations. In a selection of pictures about China, there is obviously a photo or two of Chinese food. These photos present scenes that are not usually observed by people in tour groups visiting China. Generally speaking the locations are off the beaten track but give an indication of the life of Chinese people in the remoter areas of China. Is it true to say that the people make the country, not the country make the people?

We can learn all about China from reading about the experiences of visitors to China, and by looking at their photos of China that are eventually uploaded to the internet webpages. The pictures of China shown on this page suggest that much has changed over the years, and continue to change. Old buildings in ancient cities are being replaced with modern apartment blocks, and old bricks and stone blocks used to build new walls. Chinese food from the town markets are mostly traditional items; pork meat, fresh vegetables and berries. Chinese food for breakfast in the new hotels is basically traditional, but Western style breakfast food is also on the menu now, and your eggs are fried by an attentive cook.

Traditional customs and beliefs are still evident particularly on those special days such as the Chinese New Year, when the Chinese people celebrate, and the Chinese children get their presents; perhaps a gift of a special handmade lollipop of their choice! After you have looked at these photos that are all about China, you might wish to read even more information and see other pictures about China, by going to the Wikipedia link shown at the bottom of this page.

*** China has one of the world's oldest and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is the source of many major inventions, such as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham called the "four great inventions of Ancient China": paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Historically, China's cultural sphere has extended across East Asia as a whole, with Chinese religion, customs, and writing systems being adopted to varying degrees by neighbors such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
