Features: Geography as a knowledge concept coexists with humanity, and geography as a culture evolves with human progress. For this reason, when people are no longer satisfied with a general summary of the essential attributes of geographical phenomena, the term "geography" is continuously endowed with more connotations. The concept of "National Geographic" emerged accordingly. It takes a broad and profound definition as the embryo in the mother liquor of civilization, absorbing and integrating human geography, tourism geography, and other academic fields related to geography that float at the margins of various disciplines, thereby producing a new cultural layer with multiple meanings that encompasses natural, historical, cultural, folk, ecological, and tourism information. With a deep reflection on this culture and a persistent desire to help more people understand this new concept, after long-term planning and preparation, the editorial team has launched this series of "China National Geographic" books, hoping to present a relatively complete picture of China's national geography to a broad readership. This volume includes content about Northeast, Northwest, and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan regions.
Black, yellow, blue—this is the land, that is the sea. Sorghum turns red, grapes ripen, and various splendid colors all paint a picture of the same civilization. The black soil predicts fertility, further highlighting the cheerfulness of Northeast China. The yellow soil reflects the simplicity of Northwest China, embracing the scorching sun. The landmass in the sea is always tightly connected to the continental shelf, as if holding onto its clothes. The translucent rime ice silently praises the that has never decayed for three thousand years. The, in turn, yearns for the gentle ripples in Sun Moon Lake.
