Top 10 Most Beautiful Countries In The World – Here’s Why
6. China

China is a country with one of the world’s most beautiful histories. The reputation of this country is known all over the world because of its great impact on the history and culture of the world. China has contributed so much to our civilization, from the dynasties that ruled this great nation to the inventions that we still use today.
With over 5,000 ye
ars of history, China has many ancient traditions and customs that are still practiced and celebrated up to this day. The Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one such custom. This traditional Chinese holiday lasts for 15 days and is celebrated after the end of winter (usually between January 21 and February 19). Families come together for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, which is called ‘chú xī’ (除夕). This holiday is also marked by fireworks, firecrackers, lantern displays, and lion dances in public places.
This country also boasts many tourist attractions such as the Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and Terracotta Army. These sites can be found all over China but mostly in Beijing and Xian.
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty.
China is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system and is the source of many major inventions, such as paper, gunpowder, and the compass.
