• There are not a lot of foreigners there, but the ones who do bring different ideas to the country, such as clothes and food.

• Clothes that are brought are sort of like what come to Beijing like Gap, Aroepostle, and Abercrombie. Food brought like McDonalds and KFC .

• Yet most of Tibet is still true to it’s cultural heritage, which is a good thing hopefully it will stay like this, to keep it unique.

The North China PlainThe North China Plain is in the north of China, and is a major agricultural

region. It is a relatively flat, and has many lakes and rivers that create marshes and shallow swamps, sometimes causing floods. This region

also has extreme weather conditions during the winter and summer. The North China Plain is considered to be one of the cradles of Chinese

civilization, and China’s earliest dynasties and agricultural societies are there. Even today, the North China Plain is still a land of agriculture. Wheat, cotton, and tobacco are some of the main crops grown there.
