It is also the third longest river in the world. Its basin, extending for some 2,000 miles from west to east and for more than 600 miles from north to south, drains a huge area in South China. The Yangtze also carries more water than any other river in China. The major rivers include the Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) and Huang He (Yellow River).

Most of the country, however, lies in the temperate zone and experiences four seasons http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/tg/tgeo.pdf

  8. China – The Great Wall The wall proved quite effective when maintained and garrisoned; however, at different times throughout history, it was breached because of treachery, disrepair, lack of troops, and tactical blunders. The relatively short distance between towers allowed communication through such means as beacons and runners. http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/tg/tgeo.pdf
