Waterfalls of China (中国的瀑布) China Waterfalls (瀑布 [pùbù] or sometimes 飞瀑 [fēipù]) vary as much as the terrain and landscapes this vast country encompasses. Dominating much of central Asia, this country covers landscapes such as the rainforests blanketing karst mountains in the south, skyscraping alpine mountains on the Tibetan Plateau to the southwest, vast expanses of desert dominating the northwest and northern regions, frigid Siberian climates in the northeast, and countless gorges and valleys carved out by the many rivers that flow through the country's interior. Of course this country offers much in the way of other attractions like the Great Wall, Terracota Warriors, Guilin, Pandas, many Buddhist temples and monuments, and more. Plus, it's got one of the world's oldest cultures and perhaps the oldest surviving language in the world. Being ethnically Chinese, a visit here taught us much about who we are and where we came from. Waterfalls provided the perfect excuse to see much of the country, and we hope we can continue to come back to see more of the Nature that sustains this ever evolving nation. One thing we've done with the pages within this region (that we haven't done previously) is the incorporation of simplified Chinese characters [jiǎntǐzì or 简体字] (I know, I know, I'll catch flak from Chinese people outside the mainland who prefer traditional characters [fántǐzì or 繁体字]). We've also added a little bit of a pronunciation aid using pinyin [pīnyīn or 拼音] which is a way of romanizing Chinese with some additional accent markings to help with the tones. Hopefully, that might help you deal with some of the language and pronunciation issues (as well as providing an excuse to help me with my Chinese).
