China - an amazing country full of diverse attractions and beauties! China's ancient civilization has been able to preserve their lands in the depths of the original traditions of its own people, to create a number of strong technology foundation, peacefully coexist with centuries of tradition-rich culture. Great-grandfathers tradition decorate unforgettable for its beauty scenery of pristine nature - from mild air surface of the cleanest rivers and lakes, surrounded by lush green vegetation, to the high snow-capped peaks of Tibet. I like the centuries-old ancient temples of the Buddha and the modern skyscrapers of megacities in China, gracefully-organically merge into a single amazing personification of beauty in our Zemle.Takzhe I like Tienanmen Square and the Great Wall of China. ( Китай - удивительная страна, полная разнообразнейших достопримечательностей и красот! Древняя цивилизация Китая смогла сберечь в недрах своих земель первоначальные традиции собственного народа, создать рядом мощную технологическую основу, мирно сосуществующую с вековыми традициями богатой культуры. Прадедовские традиции украшают незабываемые по своей красоте пейзажи первозданной природы - от легкой воздушной глади чистейших рек и озер, окруженных пышной зеленой растительностью, до высокогорных снежных вершин Тибета. Мне нравятся многовековые старинные храмы Будды и современные небоскребы мегаполисов Китая, грациозно-органически сливающиеся в единое потрясающее олицетворение прекрасного на нашей Земле.Также мне нравится площадь Тяньаньмэнь и Великая Китайская стена.)
