Situated to the west of Hubei Province, in central China , the town of Yichang sits on the banks of the Yangtze River. It dates back 2,700 years - although certain writings claim its roots go further back, to 4,000 years ago.
China presents such a variety of landscapes that I'd find it difficult to talk about the different aspects of its geography. With over 5,000 kilometers separating its borders, there are a number of different environments for its inhabitants to experience without leaving the country. In the east, there are mainly fertile plains, mountains, and the coast. In the west, rolling plateaux, mountains, deserts and steppes.
Truly an embodiment of their era, temples show us the customs of the populace over the centuries and enable us to understand how society was organized, what people believed, and how they lived.
