Geography
China has an area of about 9.6 million square km and shares its
borders with the deserts of Mongolia to the north, the inhospitable
Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas to the west. The East and South
China seas borders the eastern side of this country.
Climate
Most of the country's climate is temperate. However, the climate
ranges from bitterly cold to scorching hot. Temperatures in the
north can drop to as low as -40 degrees Celsius in winter (December-March)
and rise to as high as 38 degrees in summer (May-August). The southern
part of China experiences a more tropical climate than its northern
counterpart. Typhoons occasionally hit the southeast coast between
July and September.
