 The measure of a mysterious civilization shaped by 4000 years, since Marco Polo's fascinated travelers. Intrigued by the mysterious culture, exotic, beautiful landscapes and magnificent monuments that are witness to history.
The largest highland region of the country and also the highest placed a large geographical region on earth is the Tibetan Plateau. It's the least known and most difficult part of the country accessible. Tibet, for many years closed to tourists, insulated from external influences, has retained a unique tradition and culture. Known as the Roof of the World is the average height of 3,500 m above sea level [foto2] Its capital is the center of the old religion - Lhasa, a city full of mysterious palaces, monasteries and temples. On the west coast is located in Hong Kong, until recently an English enclave in the territory of China. Attracts with its modern architecture, the multinational mosaic of people, and ... still attractive pricing. This place has an economic miracle of the legendary, while Folk Park is an old Chinese folklore. Zhongguo - a Middle Kingdom, China today, after centuries of isolation of the most populous country in the world turned (over the wall) to help improve their economies of both the West and the East. And what will come? Will China be able to be the next superpower, or disrupt the balance of political forces in the world? In any event, today the Chinese want to be accepted by the world, need the world and the world needs China. Lee Kuan Yew predicts that even by 2020 to become the Middle largest economic power of the world. In his view, Confucian work ethic, giant reserves and economic impact of Hong Kong will enable the increase, which surprised even the optimists. We often hear that 21 century will be the century of China. And although it is probably quite automatically repeat, that's the fact that even considering something like this is very interesting. Is anyone talking about the age of Russia, or India? So far, China's cooperation with the West brings very good results - China maintained impressive growth, continuous growth in living standards, a successful course of reforms, the huge foreign exchange reserves (after the annexation of Hong Kong, China has become the richest country in the currency exchange on the Earth, which has twice as many hard currency as the United States and Germany put together!), 37 billion U.S. dollars of foreign investment. Opinions on the future of China are divided: Some people are attracted to high growth rates, and prophesy a great future of China. Others believe that the increase in growth, but the terrible overpopulation in rural areas, uneven development and high poverty areas, resulting in a substantial his pace. It is not known whether this arises from a positive scenario for the world. Politicians fear that an economically strengthened China will play a role in the Asian region, which they wanted at the beginning of the twentieth century to seize for themselves the Japanese. Like fully willing to political and territorial expansion as the descendants of the samurai in XXI century, the Chinese may want to rule the entire Pacific region. Potential outbreaks of conflict is very much. Middle the state may take in an armed attempt to subordinate themselves in Taiwan (where the Chinese authorities are acting). Beijing also looks at the South China Sea, which are controlled by Vietnam, the rich oil deposits. It is not known how they will look like in XXI in relations between China, Russia and the United States. The confrontation of any of these powers can lead to tragedy.
