China has four regions: Northwest, North China, South China and Qinghai-Tibet.

The basis of four geographical divisions

According to the characteristics of geographical location, physical geography and human geography, China can be divided into four geographical regions, namely, northern region, southern region, northwest region and Qinghai-Tibet region.

Among them, Qinling Mountain and Huaihe River are the dividing lines between the northern region and the southern region. Daxinganling-Yinshan-Helan Mountain is the dividing line between the northern region and the northwest region. The dividing line between the Qinghai-Tibet region and the northwest, north and south regions of China is roughly the dividing line between the first step and the second step.

There are obvious differences in topography, climate, river flow and vegetation types between the north and the south of China. Affected by the natural environment, people in the north and the south also have great differences in production methods, living habits and cultural traditions.
