Features: The civilizations of the Ganges River have risen and fallen one after another. After extensive slaughter, Ashoka tried to pacify his bloody heart with Buddhism. The Great Stupa at Sanchi, which enshrines the relics of Sakyamuni, is piled up like a mountain. Isolation has preserved the primitive magic of Oceania. In Tongariro National Park, there are the world's cleanest lakes, and the Great Barrier Reef, composed of the world's fragile corals, forms the world's most spectacular living organism. The waters of the Blue Danube flow quietly, the Vienna State Opera is brilliantly lit, and Strauss's moving waltzes stir the hearts of the people. On the Apennine Peninsula, Roman soldiers embarked on their journey, and the entire Mediterranean became the inner lake of the Romans. Caesar proudly said, "I came, I saw, I conquered." The brilliant Greece and the magnificent Rome. The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor shines brilliantly under the sunlight, while Machu Picchu, the Inca Empire ruins deep in the Andes, remains silent in the gloom. The vultures of the African continent circle in the sky, the cheetahs run at full speed, and the startled gazelles leap and dodge. For many years, the African continent has maintained the natural balance and embodied the magnificence of life in this primitive way. National Geographic is a topic that is becoming increasingly popular. Geography is an ancient concept that has been formed since the beginning of human existence. Nature continuously shapes new content for this concept in the process of creation and destruction, while human activities constantly expand its deeper and broader meaning. Thus, the concept of "National Geographic" was born. It is a broad definition that is no longer limited to the concept of natural geography that we usually understand, but rather incorporates more cultural such as folklore, history, and tourism. It expands the connotation of geography from nature to the realm of culture, combining the geography of human nature, and elevates it from reflecting the truth of nature to a new cultural meaning. It may be hard to imagine, but geography can also inspire such strong interest in people. As a form with a high degree of affinity, National Geographic has increasingly reflected this trend since its gradual formation. People's enthusiasm for this is not just out of following the trend, but more, perhaps out of a subconscious curiosity and exploration of the meaning of their own existence. This is precisely the true charm of National Geographic. Inspired by this enthusiasm and impressed by this charm, after long preparation, we have edited and produced this series of "Global National Geographic," hoping to present a series of relatively complete world geography content to those equally obsessed with it. The series is organized by geographical location, with countries as the basic units, showcasing the characteristics of 200+ countries in 7 continents. First-class images, superior text, and professional maps all strive to perfectly highlight the classic features of "National Geographic," combining nature and culture in a direct way before your eyes. The "Asia-Oceania" volume includes the content about Asia and Oceania in the series. The sign of civilization leads you to open the deepest pages of human history, while the warm sea breeze brings the wonderful face of the earth. The legendary charm of the eastern land and the vibrant vitality of the southern continent are in contrast, creating a harmonious picture of the same blue sky, the ancient and the novel. The "Europe" volume includes all the content about Europe in the series. On this land full of classical and romantic colors, the gentle west wind has nurtured the grand culture of humanity, and the continuous far mountains have given birth to the beginning of modern civilization. The reserved nature and classic civilization leave the world with a hard-to-forget face. The "Africa, North America, South America, Polar Regions" volume includes the content about Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, and the Arctic in the series. The primitive, modern, simple, and mysterious, the world's extreme beauty converges here. The intense colors and diverse cultures collide here, creating a brilliant rainbow.
