About this listen

Learn about the history and geography of China with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

China is a fascinating country where mountains tower over vast plains, deserts collide with lush farmlands, and ancient cultures mix with modern cities.

So, if you went to China, where would you start? Well, you might want to pack a big bag because China is actually the 3rd largest country in the world! Most of western China is mountainous, including the Himalayan range. These mountains are the tallest on Earth. They are so big that they help control the world’s weather. Significantly for China, they also define its border which it shares with 15 countries. In the ancient days, Europeans tried to avoid the Himalayas while travelling on the famous Silk Road—a series of trade routes from the Mediterranean Sea to inner China. Many chose to go north instead and to pass through the Gobi Desert, the 5th biggest desert on Earth.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)
