The Most Beautiful Place in China

China is a country that has one of the oldest cultures in the world. Besides the beauty of Chinese culture, China has unique natural beauties. Due to the territorial extension of the Chinese territory, we find wonderful place such as mountain ranges, in which the Earth's highest mountain is located, to marine places.
In my opinion, one of the most fascinating places in the world that I would like to go if I could is Mount Everest. This place belongs to Himalayan mountain range, and its peak is 8,848 meters (29,029 ft) above sea level. The mountain range is located at the border between China and Nepal.
