Introduction   China isn't a country - it's a whole different world. From shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, with deserts, sacred peaks, astounding caves, and imperial ruins in between. Management recently stopped destroying temples - now they rip down mountains and poison rivers instead, but with over a billion people to take care of, something's got to give. Along with the stark contrasts comes   stark beauty; there's plenty to see once you've mastered the art of bulldozing your way through crowds and dodging spit. And don't let the old Communist Party rhetoric fool you - money-making is the number one hobby these days. Unless you have a couple of years and unlimited patience, it's best to follow a loose itinerary here, such as Beijing to Tibet via Xi'an's terracotta warriors, following the Silk Road route, sailing down the Yangzi River, or exploring the Dr Seuss landscape of Guangxi Province.     Facts At A Glance Full country name: People's Republic of China Area: 9,596,960 sq km (mainland) Population: 1.3 billion (mainland) Capital city: Beijing (pop 11 million) People: Han Chinese (93%), plus Mongol, Zhuang, Manchu and Uighur minorities Language: Putonghua (Beijing dialect Mandarin) Religion: Officially atheist; Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism (no stats available); Muslim (14 million), Christian (7 million) Government: Communist republic Head of State:Hu Jintao Visas: Visas are required by all foreigners entering mainland China (visas aren't needed for tourists visiting Hong Kong for less than 30 days).
