SuZhou lies in JiangSu province, just west from ShangHai Municipality, between the ebb of the YangTse river and TaiHu lake. SuZhou has a history of over 2,500 years. The city's canals, bridges, pagodas, and gardens have contributed to its standing as one of the top tourist attractions in China. The 'classical gardens of SuZhou' were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000.

TianJin lies 30 minutes east of BeiJing by high speed rail, on the coast in north east China.

The Yangtze or YangZi (Cháng jiāng) is the longest river in Asia, the third-longest in the world, and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. Its source is in the northern part of the Tibetan Plateau and flows 6,300 km (3,900 miles) in a generally eastern direction to the East China Sea near ShangHai.

This temple in south China is actually new; it was opened in 1988 to commemorate two thousand years of Buddhism in China. NanShan Temple has a total area of 40,000 square meters and contains several Tang dynasty replicas. It is located 40 kilometers west of SanYa city. Nearby lies the GuanYin of the South Sea of SanYa 南山海上观音圣像, a 108-meter (354 foot) statue of GuanYin.
