Profound history
China is the world's oldest living civilization, with a written history dating back to more than 3,500 years. The ancient Chinese believed that their country was the geographical centre of the world and its only civilized culture. They built magnificent structures that stand today as proof of great human accomplishment. Several renowned landmarks are represented in China travel posters.

The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China was constructed as a defense against raiding nomadic tribes. Its construction continued throughout many Chinese dynasties. When the wall no longer served a purpose, part of it was dismantled and used to build nearby towns and villages. Only a section of the massive wall remains intact today. Visitors from all over the world flock to visit this site and to walk along this wonder of the ancient world.

The Forbidden City
The Forbidden City was built between 1406 and 1420 and is located directly in the centre of ancient Beijing. The rectangular, 720,000 square

meters palace complex (the largest in the world) is surrounded by a six-meter deep moat and ten-meter high walls that are thick enough to withstand cannon attacks. Its buildings housed the residence of the Emperor, his family, servants, as well as the Chinese aristocracy, and served as the political nerve centre of China.

The Three Gorges Dam
The Yangtze River is the third largest river in the world. Over the centuries, its floods have flattened towns and killed millions of residents along its banks. China initiated a colossal project in 1994 to control the river's seasonal floods. The Three Gorges Dam will be the biggest dam on Earth when completed in 2009. Not only will it help control flooding, but it will also improve navigation along the Yangtze and provide immense hydroelectric power to the surrounding regions. Although still in its finishing stages, the Three Gorges Dam symbolizes China's continuous determination and ability to create the unthinkable.

The People's Republic of China opens its doors to the world to reveal its secrets and treasures. The country is abundant with breathtaking, unspoiled natural wonders, as well as a show of remarkable feats of humanity.
