Pictures in our banner above represent a few of the many facets of this great and developing country:  from the history (seen by the Great Wall of China, and Temple roofs, to the modern cities and special economic zones (such as the city of Xiemen) and of course the rich resources of the countryside as seen by the Panda and Mountains of Central China.
