Major cities of China are Beijing, Chengdu, Hong Kong, Lhasa, Pingyao, Shanghai, Xian, Yangshuao, and Urumqi, Suzhou and many others.

China is considered as one of the world’s largest civilization. The country has a very mysterious history. According to history Yanmou is the oldest hominoid man in China and Xia dynasty is the oldest dynasty. Five major stages have played important roles in the development of Chinese society which includes Primitive society, Slave society, Feudal society, Semi Feudal society and Semi colonial society and Socialist society. There were many eminent personalities who gave many major inventions and helped in the development of the country. People’s Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. The country has developed into a socialist society and became a very strong Nation.

The Economic aspect of China is very strong when compared to other countries. It is one of the first countries where economic activity developed. China’s economy is very huge and it is rapidly developing. It is said that China has the largest economy after United States of America. But the country still has inequalities in the income of population. The rural part of China remains poor but in between 1970 and 1980 economic reforms was made. This gave more independence to the business sectors and the economic aspects grew gradually.

China is one of the third largest countries with a great diversity of religious beliefs. The government of China has given freedom of belief for all. There are many religious beliefs like Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity in the country.  Buddhism is said to be practiced in China for around 2000 years. Around 13000 Buddhist temples are seen in the country. Taoism, with history of 1700 years has 1500 Taoist temples. Islam and Catholicism were introduced in China in 7th century. All these religions and religious leaders play an important role in the development of the country. Unlike other countries all religious beliefs of the country have a harmonious relationship and gives respect for each other.

In world’s population of approximately 6.7 million, China represents 20% of the world population. So it is calculated that one in every five person is a China resident. The country is also the place where you can find more elderly people.  From this population around 25 % are younger people, 67 % of people of age between 15 to 60 and the rest 6.7 % are old people. According to a survey it is found that by 2010 the population of China will reach 1.4 billion.
