Explore Live Cams in China

China (中国, Zhōngguó) is one of the largest countries on Earth, covering about 3.7 million square miles (9.6 million km²). Its land climbs from the crowded eastern plains and coast to the deserts of the northwest and the vast Tibetan Plateau, the Roof of the World, where Mount Everest straddles the border with Nepal.

Its most famous natural wonders include the Yangtze, the longest river in Asia at about 3,915 miles (6,300 km), the limestone peaks along the Li River near Guilin, and the turquoise lakes and waterfalls of Jiuzhaigou. The giant panda, found in the wild only in the mountains of central China, is treated as a national treasure.

About 1,900 giant pandas now live in the wild, mostly in bamboo forests in Sichuan. China is also home to golden snub-nosed monkeys, red-crowned cranes, Yangtze finless porpoises and snow leopards on the high plateau, and the Great Wall winds for thousands of miles across its northern mountains and deserts.

Did You Know? In Zhangjiajie, the giant sandstone pillars are said to have inspired the floating mountains in the film Avatar, and one was renamed Avatar Hallelujah Mountain in 2010.
