The Taishan Mountains,

One of the largest mountains ranges in Asia, has rich deposits of coal, rock salt and lands. the Tianjin range runs across the middle of Xinjiang to divide it into the Jungian and Tiram basins. extending as far west as the Central Asian part of soviet Union and east to the Gansu-xinjiang border, the rang has a total length of 2,500K.ms. of which 1,500 k.ms are on Chinese territory. Betwen 250 and300 k. m. wide from north to south, it includes several mountain chains running parallel west to east at an elevation of 3,000 to 5,000 m. Higher in the west then in the east, it has two famous passes in its eastern section linking the northern and southern parts of Xinjiang. One is Dabancheng, which leads the lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway to the city of Urumqi in the northwest; and the other is Qijiaojing northwest of Hami. The Tianshan range has many high, snow-covered peaks, notably Hantengri (6,995 metres) and Tomur (7,435 m.) and it its numerous glaciers provide headstreams for many rivers. there are many interments basins, the best-known being, from west to east, the Ili, Yanqi, Turpan and Hami basins. air currents from the Arctic Ocean make the northern slopes. of the Tunisian range more moist then the southern ones. The northern slopes have dense spruce forest, while mountain grasslands dominate the southern slopes.

The nanling Mountains,

A general term for all the mountains on the Guangzi-Guangdung and Human-Jiang xi borders, extend from west to east for more than pangling, Mengxhuling, Qitianling and Kayuling mountains. As a matter of fact, the Maling range also includes the Jiulian Mountains on the Jiangxi-Guangdong border. Each of the ridges is separate from the other southwest direction,but as they range one beside the viewed as a whole. Among the mountains are many north- south communication since ancient times. Though not high (about 1,0000metres above sea level),the Nanling range is a natural dividing line in southern China,separating the Changjiang River from the Xhujiang. its aerating the Changjiang River from the Zhujiang. Its southern and northern slopes present entirely different scenes. Crops grow lush and green in all four seasons in the southern slopes, where it is warm from one end of the year to the other; while in the north it is cold and often snows in winter.

The Qinling Mountains

Extending about 1500 kilometres across central China from the Gansu- Qinghai border in the west through Shaanxi to central Henan in the east, from a natural dividing line between China's sub-tropical and warm-temperate zones. The mountain range embraces a series of mountains ,including the Xiqing Minshan Dieshan, Zhongnan, Huashan, Xiaoshan, Songshan and Funiu.The western slopes are steep while the eastern slopes rise more gently. A geographical divede between norht and south, it is the watershed of the Weihe Huaihe and the Hanjiang ,Jialing drainatge the section rising 2,000-3,000metres above sea level in Sanax whose main peak is the majestic, 3,767-metre-high Mount Taibai.
The Qinling range has vital bearing on the country's climate. While making it difficult for moist ocean air currents to penetrate deep into the northwest in summer. it also keeps the cold norther air from descending farther south in winter. The revers south of it have a much bigger flow than the rivers to its north.

The Ynshan Mountains

Run west-east in the middle of inner Mongolia composed of the longish and Ula mountains in the west; the daring and and Huitengliang mountains in the middle; the Liangcheng and Huashan mountains in the south ;and the Domaqun Mountains in the east. It is 1200 kilometres long from west to east 50-100 kilometres wide from north to south and 1000-2000 metres above sea level. Its main peak rises in the north of salami 2850 metres above sea level. the Yinshan Mountain area is an important dividing line in topography, climate, farming and stockbreeding. It is a watershed between interior and exterior drainage basins. North of it is the Inner Mongolia Plateau, a pastoral area, and to its south is the fertile Hetao Plain, an agricultural region. Part of the Great Wall is built along the Yinshan Mountains.

The Greater HInggan MOuntains,

also called west Hinggan Mountains, are the country's leading natural force area. Situated in northeast Inner Mongolia, the Greater Hinggan range is an important natural geographical dividing line between the Eastern coast and the northwestern inland regions. A watershed of the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Songliao Plain, the Greater Hinggan range - 200-300 kilometeres wide - starts from the banks of the Heilng River in the south to the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River in the south, running 1200 kilometres in a northeast-southwest direction. The Greater Hinggan range is not is not high- 1500 metres above sea level - with its main peak, Mount Huanggangliang, reaching an elevation of 2029 metres. The mountain tops are round and the Eastern slopes steeper then the Western ones. though not so much a windbreak as the Qinling range in central China, it still influences the climate in the area since the summer monsoons blown over long distances from the southeastern coast are blocked by the mountains here from penetrating farther into the northwest. The Western section of the range, therefore, is dry, while its eastern section is humid and covered with dense woods.

The Kunlun Mountain

Known as the '' Spine of Asia" tower north of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 6000 metres above sea level, starting from the Pamirs plateau in the west and extending 2500 kilometres eastward along the boundary of Xinjiang and Tibet. viewed from a distance, the snow-covered peaks of the Kunlun Mountains crisscrossed by glaciers look like a huge silvery dragon wreathed in clouds. In sporing, when the ice and snow being to melt on such imposing peaks as Muztag (7723 metres ), Muzatagata (7546 metres) and Kongur (7719 metres) streams of melt-water flow over the dry land of northwest china and into the changing and Huanghe rivers.
The Kunlun range as it runs east splits into three branches: the Altun range, which becommes the Qilian Mountains ; the Qimantang range; and the Hohxil range, which becomes the Bayanhar range. The Xinjiang-Tibet Highway crosses the western part of the Kunlun Mountain Area

Mount Qomolangma,

the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest peak in the world, lies on the border of China's Tibet and Nepal with its northern slope in China. A 1975 survey by Chinese alpinists put its precise height as 8,848.13 metres. Shaped like a pyramid, the snow-covered peak is crisscrossed by several hug glaciers, the longest 26 kilometers.mount qomolangma, which means "Goddess the Third" in Tibetan, is called Sagarmatha by the Indian general survey office in 1855 under the direction of the British arbitrarily named the mountain after its surveyor-general, Sir George Everest.In 1952, the Chinese government renamed it Mount. Qomolangma. Long an attraction to outstanding world alpinists, the mountain has been open to foreign mountaineers on the Chinese side since 1980, Chinese mountaineers have twice scaled its summit from the northern slope; on May 25,1960 and May 27, 1975

The himalayas,

the most majestic and highest mountain range in the world, lie principally in China. Also the longest mountain range in China,they stretch for 2400 kilometres from West to east and 200-300 kilometres from north to south in China's Tibet, Pakistan,India, Nepal ,Sikkim and Bhutan. The main China of the Himalayas has an average elevation of more then 6000 metres, far exceeding the average height of any other mountain range in the world. Forty Himalayan peaks exceed 7,000 metres and 11 pass the 8,000-m. mark. mount qomolangma, towering 8,848.13 m. on the China-Nepal border, is the highest in the world. The Himalayan peaks are covered with ice and snow all year round (Himalaya means "abode of snow" in Tibetan), their glaciers cover some 10,000 square kilometers. The northwestern slopes of the Himalayas are dry and cold, with sparse plant growth, while the southern slopes receive plentiful precipitation. a sub-tropical scene is not unusual in Zayu and Medog areas in southern Tibet.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences through several extensive surveys of the Himalayas has collected a wealth of scientific data. Discoveries of numerous fossils of marine animals and plants, including those of a huge ichthyosaur 160 million Years old found at an altitude of 4,800 metres, reveal that the Himalayas were once a vast expanse of sea. The mountain range has continued to rice in elevation at a yearly speed of 0.33-1.27 cm - which indicates that it is once of the world's youngest range

FAMOUS MOUNTAINS AND PEAKS

Of the world's 14 mountains exceeding 8,000 metres, 9 are china or on the borders. Many of china's world-renowned mountains are geographically important, some providing headwaters for major rivers and some forming climatic or river basin divides. Some of them, though not prominent on the map, are popular scenic spots or summer resorts; while some are known far and wide for their historical monuments or religious relics. Still others attract alienists with their awesome height. Over a hundred mountains in China exceed 7,000 metres and more than a thousand exceed 6,000 metres.

The northwest-southeast and north-south ranges,

mainly in the west, include two groups: the Qinlian Mountains between Gansu and Qinghai provinces and the Altay on the border between China and Mongolia and the Soviet Unian

are the Helan and Liapan mountains in Ningxia and other provinces and the Hengduan mountains straddling Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet. The Himalayas join with the Hengduan and other ranges to form a huge arc-shaped mountain chain.

The northeast-southwest ranges

consists also of three groups, mostly in the low-lying east : In the western groups, the greater Hinggan mountains lie between the inner Mongolia Plateau and the northeast plain; the Taihang mountains between the Loess Plateau and the North China plain; the Wushan Mountains on the Sichuan-Hubei border; and the Xuefeng Mountains in western Hunan Province.

In the Middle group, the Changbai Mountains are east of the Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjing provinces and the Wyo Mountains are on the Fujian-Jiangxi border.

The eastern group consists of the Taiwan Mountains. The northeast-southwest ranges, the Greater Hinggan and Taihang chains in particular, stand as barriers in the way of the moist air currents from the sea, affecting the distribution of precipitation in China.

The west-east ranges

consist mainly of three groups: The northern group includes the Tianshan range which crosses central Xinjiang, and the Yinshan range which extends across the middle groups includes the Kunlun range straddling the Xinjiang-Tibet border, and the Qinling range, cutting across the central part of the country; and the southern group consists of the Nanling mountains on the Human-Jiangxi-Guangdong-Guangxi border.

The Himalayas generally run in a west-east direction. The west-east ranges are important geographical boundaries in China. The Tianshan Mountains divide Xinjiang into southern and northern parts; the Yinshan mountains are part of the boundary line between the interior and boundary line between the first and second steps of the staircase in china's topographical outline; the qinling Mountains are the watershed of the changjiang and Huanghe river systems and the geographical dividing line between northern and southern china; and the Nanlinf Mountains are the watershed of the changjing zhujiang rivers and a natural geographical divide in southern China.

The third step of the staircase

The bulk of China’s population lives in in the third or lowest step down the starcase, east of the line from the greater Hainggan, Taihang and Wushan ranges and the eastern rim of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the sea coast. Here are hills less then 1,000 metres and plains less then 200 metres in elevation. Lying from north to south are the northeast plain the north China Plan, the Middle-Lower Changjiang Plain and the hills and foothills south of the Changjiang River. With superior geographical conditions and a large concentration of big cities of China.
To the east of the third step in the continental shelf formed by the shallows, which are an extension of the land in to the ocean.The third step of the staircase

The second step of the staircase

Going north from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau across the Kunlun and Qilian ranges and east across the Hengduan Mountains, the land abruptly drops to plateaus, mountains and basins on an altitude of 2,000 to 1,000 metres, forming the second step down the staircase, which consists of the Yunnan-Guizhou, Loess and Inner Mongolia pllateaus and the Tarim, Junggar and Sichuan basins.

TOPOGRAPHY (PH YSICAL FEATURES)

China Is A Mountainous Counry. Hills mountains and plateaus cover two-thirds of the country’s total area and are inhabited by one-third of the population. More then half of china’s counties have mountainous areas.
With its vast mountainous regions-high in the west and Lie in the east –china has a varied topography and diverse physical features. Plains are mainly in the east; in the southeast are mainly hills; plateaus and basins join the other topographical forms scattered over wide areas of intermingling with each other to provide favour –able conditions for developing a diversified economy of agriculture, forestry, and mining. The proportion of plains, hills, mountains, plateaus and basins in the country’s total area is 12, 10, 33, 26,and 19 per cent respectively.
The land surface of china slopes down from west to east in a three-step staircase. Situated on the

The South China sea Island,

under the administration of Gungdong Province, include more then 200 coral islands, reefs, shoals and sand bars. Besides Huangyan Island, four island groups are named after their geographical locations in the south China Sea: Dongsha (East Islands), Xisha ( West Island), Zhongsha (Central Islands) and Nansha (South Islands).
The Dongsha Islands, the nearest island group to the mainland, are 140 nautical miles from Shantou on the mainland in the north.
The Xisha Islands, on the edge of the continental shelf southeast Island and 170 kilometers from the southern tip of that island, consist of over 30 reefs and are divided into the Xuande and Yongle island groups. Yongxing Island, the largest among them, covers an area of 2.65 square kilometers and is the seat of the people’s Goverment of the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups.
The Zhongsha Islands, situated to the southeast of the Zisha, are composed of more then 20 reefs and shoals.
The Nashua islands contain more than 100 islets, reefs, shoals and sand bars studding the vast southern sea area south of the zhongsha islands. Of the four island groups, south Nashua is the one which is southernmost, is most scattered and has the largest number of reefs. Major islands are Taiping, zhongye and Nancie. Zemgmu, reef is the southernmost part of Chinese territory.
Frequented by fishermen from Guangdong Province, the south China sea islands have always been a part of china. The temperature here is high all year round and the rainfall plentiful. The entire area is rich in tropical resources, fish also large deposits of guano, a food fertilizer.

The Penghu Island,

southeast of the Taiwan Straits, are composed of 64 volcanic islands, the largest among them penguhu, Yuweng and Baisha. The Penghu Islands are under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province.

The Dawanshan Island,

150 in all, are situated at the Zhujiang estuary in Guangdong Province. Orginally extensions of mountains on the mainland, as the mountains sank they became submerged in sea water and finally detached from the mainland.

The Zhoushan Archipelago,

China’s leading fishing ground and largest of china’s offshore island groups with more then 600 islands, is on the East China sea outside Hangzhou bay, to the northeast of Zhejiang Province. Zhoushn Island, the largest among them, has an area of 524 square kilometers to make it the fourth largest in china. Other meager islands include Liuheng, Taohua, Zhujiaian, Jintang and Daishan. The shengsi Islands are one of the island groups in the Zhoushan Archipelago. The Zhoushan Archipelago has four counties, Dinghai, Putuo, Daishan and Shengsi, all under the administration of zhejiang Provience. Located where warm and cold currents meet, the sea surrounding the Zhoushan Archipelago is shallow and has a plentiful supply of food for the fish brought by the Changjiang and Qiantang rivers. Large and small yellow crackers, cuttlefish and hightails are its best-known marine products. With its scenic peaks and temples, Putyuo Island, or Putuo Hill, is one of the four sacred hills of Hines Buddhism.

The Miaodao Island,

the entrace to the Bohai Sea, are scattered over the Bohai straits, at the confluence of the Bohai and Hunghai seas, consisting of Changshan, Daqin, Huangcheng and some 30 other islands. Adminstered under the jurisdiction of Changdao Country, Shandong Province, the island group is a major fishery base in the northern sea area.

The Changshan Island,

an important fishing center in the north of Hunghai Sea on the east side of Liaoning Province’s Liaodong Peninsula, consist of the Greater Changshsn Island, the Lesser Changshan Island, Guanglu, Zhangzi and about 50 other islands, the Greater Changshan being the largest among them. The island group, administered in the name of Changhei Country, is under the jurisdiction of Dalian City, Liaoning province.

Chogming Island,

the third largest island in china, lies at the mouth of the Changjing River bounded by the East China sea in the east. With an area of 1083 square kilometers, it is also the largest alluvial island, having been formed by the mud and silt deposits of the Changjiang River. With a maze of rivers and streams and a fertile soil, the island has well-developed agriculture, animals husbandry and fishery. Chongming country Com's under the administration of Shanghai Municipality.

Hainan Island

known for its tropical crops in its year-Ronda tropical climate, is on the continental shelf in the north of the south China sea facing the Keizhou Peninsula of Guangdong Province in the north across the Qiongzhou Straits. With an area of 34380 square kilometres, it is the second largest island in China. Its topography is low on four sides and high in the centre from which radiate the island’s rivers. Twenty per cent of the island is mountainous, 15 per cent hilly and 65 per cent is plain and tableland. Two major ports, Haikou and Yulu, are along its 1440-kilometere coestline. The HainanAdministrative Region is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. known for its tropical crops in its year-Ronda tropical climate, is on the continental shelf in the north of the south China sea facing the Keizhou Peninsula of Guangdong Province in the north across the Qiongzhou Straits.

Three hundred and ninety-four kilometres long from north to south and 144 kilometres wide from West to east, it covers an area of 35788 square kilometres of which one-third is plain and the rest mountainous.The largest island in China, Taiwan Island belongs to the country’s Taiwan Province proper.

Taiwan IslandTaiwan Island

ISLAND

China;s vast sea area has more then 5000 islands, with a total area of 80000 square kilometers. Over 90 Percent of these are less then one square kilometers in area
About 60 Per cent of china;s islands are in the East china sea, 30 per cent in the south China Sea, and 10per cent in the Bohai and Hunghai seas. Most of them area situated off the coast of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
China’s islands can be divided into three types, based on how they were formed: (1) rock islands-more than 90 per cent of the country’s islands including Taiwan and Hainan formed directly from the action of the geological structure of the mainland and continental, shelf;(2) alluvial islands-mainly at the months of the Chongqing, zhujiang and some other rivers-formed out of the mud and silt carried down by these rivers as they flow into the sea; (3) coral islands such as the Dongsha Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups, built up from the deposits of tropical marine organisms.

The breadth of the territrial sea

On September 4 ; 1958;The Government of the people’s Requblic of china declare the breadth of china’s territorial sea to be 12 nautical miles. The provision applies to all territories of the people’s Republice of china, including the Chines mainland and its coastal islands, as well as Taiwan and its surrounding islands, the peng Island, the Dongsha islands, the Xisha Islands, the Zhongsha Islands, the Nansha Islands and all other islands belonging to china which are separated from the mainland and its coastal islands by the high seas. China’s territorial sea along the mainland and its coastal island takes as its baseline the line composed of the straight lines connecting certain base-points on the mainland coast and on the outermost of the coastal islands; the water area extending 12 nautical miles out from this baseline is China’s territorial sea. The water ares inside the baseline, including the Bohai and the Qionzhou Straits, are Chinese inland Waters, and the islands inside the baseline are China’s inland island.

The continental shelf

china’s seashore continental shelf is one of the widest in the wouldst in the world. Like the mainland surface, the seashore floor, generally speaking, slopes from northwest to southeast, forming a gen tel continental shelf zone that is a natural extension of the mainland into the sea topographically and geologically, while outside that zone is a topographically complicated continental slope, trench or deep-sea basin zone. The subcontinental floors of the Bohai and Hunghai seas are entirely on the continental shelf while two-thirds of the east china sea and more then half of the south china sea are on the continental shelf. The seashore continental shelf is richly endowed with oil and natural gas.

Straits

there are three straits off china's shares they are from north to south the Bohai the Taiwan and the Qiongzhou
The 57 notations_ mile _ wide Bohai straits situated between the Liaodong and Shantung peninsulas are the entrance to the Bohai sea The miaodao into several channels. The deepest the Laotieshan channel in the north is the main entrance of the Huanghai to the Bohai sea.
The Taiwan Straits between Fujian and Taiwan provincese control the seaway between china's north and south They are 300 kilometres long from northeast to southwest and 150 kilometres wide the narrowest part being only 135 kilometres. Most of the straits is less then 60 metres deep the average depth being 80 metres. To the southeast is the Penghu island group which consists of 64 small islands. Situated where the cold and warm currents meet the Taiwan Straits teem with fish.
The Qiongzhou Straits sandwiched between the Leizhou Peninsual and Hainan Island southwest of Guangdong Province are 15-30 kilometers wide and average 44 metres in depth.

The south china sea

Lies adjacent to Guangdong ,Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan in the north and is marked off from the east china sea at the southern tip of the Taiwan straits. it is separated from the pacific ocean by the philippine Islands in the east and from the Indian ocean by the Greater Sunda Islands in the south and borders on the in do- china and Malay peninsulas in the West. with an area of 3.5 metres it is a fairly large deep sea basin which averages more then 3500 metres in depth with the pacific and Indian oceans by the Bohai Channel the Sula sea and the straits of Malacca it is an approach to many of the worlds key ports and is therefore av ital seaway between china and other countries. principal rivers flowing into the south china sea include the Zhujiang and the Hanjiang as well as the Hongha (Red) the Mekong and the Charo Phrygia (Men am) rivers on the in do_Chinese peninsula Hainan Island, Huangyan island and the four groups of islands- the Donghesha , Xisha, zhongsha and Nansha_ are china's important islands in the sea has an average annual temperature of 25 degree to 27c and abounds in fish prawns and care marine products.

The East china sea

east of the mainlond leads the country's sea areas in resources. Countiyeous to the Huanghai in the north. Jhapan's Ryukyu islands in the east and the south china sea on the southern edge of the taiwan straits in the south it has an area of 770000 square kilometers an average depth of 370 metres wide in the north and narrow in the south. the part of its bottem on the line from Taiwan to the north west of the wudao Islands is basically part of the continental shelf while southeast of the liune is the continental slope and trench. Its deepest point is at the Okonawa Trench whose maximum depth is 2719 metres strung out along its zigzag mainland coastline are a labyrinth of bays and island. The biggest bay is Hangzhou Bay and the major island are Taiwan island . The zhoushan. Archipelago the penghu Islands. Diaoyu, Island and a few other islands arew on a 100- nautical -mile continental shelf northeast of Taiwan separeted from Japan's Ryukyu Islands by a natural line of demarcation the Okinawa Trench. More then 40 rivers exceeding 100 kilometers in length flow in to the east china sea. notably the changjing the Qiantang the oujiang. The Minjiang and the Zhuoshuixi.

The Hanghai

(Yellow sea) is a half - closed shallow sea. Its boundaries are marked are marked by the mouth of the yalu River in the north and in the south by the northern edge of the east china sea and run from the north nook of the changjing ( Yangtze River) estuary to the southwestern tip of korea's cheju-do Island linked with the Bohai through the Bohai straits in the northwest it is adjacent to Liaong, Shandoing and Jianingsu provinces in the weast and to the korean peninsula in the northeast with a total area of 380000 square kilometres it is situated on the cheju- do . Island is 140 metres its average depth 44 meters. There are numerals sand bars off the coast of northern Jiangsu. Flowing into the Hunghai are the Huaihe River and its tributaries the Yalu River and the Daedong River of korea. The Huanghai (Yellow sea ) got its name from the facy the its water by yhe enormous amount of silt and mud carried by the Huanghe for the upwards of 600 years (A.D. 1194-1855)> The indented coasts along the Loading and shantung peninsulas and the Korean peninsula are studded with harbours and islands.

The Bohai

The sea passage for the northern provinces and the maritime gateway to the nation's capital Beijing is an inland sea caved in to the land mass in the north enclosed by the Shantung and Liaoding peninsula which the Bohai straits in its east its only passage to the Huanghai sea. It is the smallest of china's seas - 300 nautical miles long from northeast to southwest and 187 nautical miles long from west to east covering an area of 77,000 square kilometers with an average depth of only 18 meters most of the sea in frozen in winter. The Bohai fishing ground abounds in giants prawns as well as crabs and yellow crackers. The sea may be divided in to five areas: the Liaodong Bay the central shallow - sea Basin and the Bohai straits. The Bohai has a smooth floor covered with silt and carried down by the Huangine (Yellow River), Haine, Liane and Luanda rivers. Its maximum depth at Laotians, Dalian is 78 meters.

Seas

Washed by seas in the east and southeast china's coast along its mainland one of the largest of any country in the world running 18,000 kilometers from the mouth of the Yolu River on the chinese korean border in the nearth to mouth of the Beilul River on the chinese- Vietnamse border in the south.The Island coasts of course make china's total coastline even longer
The eastern part of the chines mainland is flanked from north to south by the bohai the Huanghai the east china and the south china and the south china seas all which merge with pacific Ocean of these the south china sea is a deep sea basin the rest are on the shallow continental shelf. The eastern coast of Taiwan Island is bounded directly by the pacific south of Hangzhou Bay The coast is mountainous except for the zhujiang river Delta, the Tianjin River Delta, the Leibniz peninsula and to their west Beirut Bay- all of which have flat coasts. North of the Hangzhou Bay most of the coast is flat broken by mountainous shorelines in the shandong peninsula and the Toxin Mountain Area Flat coasts stretch along western Taiwan and northern Hanan while mountainous coasts line Taiwan's eastern shore and Taiwan's southern Shore the mountainous coast throughout China are favored with many island and big deep natural harbors. The flat coasts- even and straight with gentle and smooth train- provide wide possibilities for developing moraine fishery salt industry aquaculture and offshore mining industry.
Famous part are from north to south, Dalian, Qingdao, Tianjin, Yantai Qingdao, Zhanyungang Hikou and Beijing as well as Jilong and Gaoxiong in Taiwan.SeasSeas
