China is a country south of Mongolia. With a population of 1,280,700,000 people it makes it one of the most common countries in the world. China is very well known for their food.
They enjoy eating rice, noodles, dumplings, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. But unlike many other countries Chinese people like to eat their food with chopsticks not spoons, knives and forks.
A big part in China's culture is their language. Instead of using letters in the alphabet Chinese people use symbols. Chinese people greet others by saying NI HAO. This means hello.
Children from China go to school for eight hours a day. They also go for an extra month more than most other people. In some areas of China children have to leave school after a few years to help their parents with farming.
A special celebration in China is new years day. During this celebration people walk around holding on to sticks. These sticks support dragons on top. While people walk around with the dragons they move the sticks from side to side making the dragons bodies swerve around.
