Kule veki siza kuthetha ngento ethile ngelizwe lethu—- iPeople's Republic of China.

IRiphabliki yabantu baseTshayina ikwicala elisempuma yelizwekazi laseAsia, kumda wePasifiki osentshona. Lilizwe elikhulu, eligubungela iikhilomitha zesikwere ezili-9.6 zezigidi. ITshayina ingaphezulu ngokuphindwe kalishumi elinesixhenxe ngobukhulu kuneFransi, incinci ngesigidi seekhilomitha zesikwere kunelizwe lonke laseYurophu, kwaye incinci nge-600,000 square kilometers kuneOceania (eOstreliya, eNew Zealand, nakwiziqithi ezikumzantsi nakumbindi wePasifiki). Indawo eyongezelelweyo engaselunxwemeni, kubandakanya amanzi ommandla, iindawo zoqoqosho ezikhethekileyo, kunye neshelufu yelizwekazi, iyonke ingaphezulu kwe-3 yezigidi zeekhilomitha zesikwere, nto leyo eyenza ukuba umhlaba wonke waseTshayina ube malunga ne-13 yezigidi zeekhilomitha zesikwere.

Iintaba zeHimalaya zaseNtshona China zihlala zibizwa ngokuba luphahla lwehlabathi. INtaba iQomolangma (eyaziwa eNtshona njengeNtaba i-Everest), enobude obungaphezu kweemitha eziyi-8,800, yeyona ncochoyi iphakamileyo yophahla. ITshayina isuka kwindawo yayo esentshona kwiPamir Plateau ukuya kudibana kweHeilongjiang kunye neWusuli Rivers, iikhilomitha eziyi-5,200 empuma.

Xa abemi basempuma yeTshayina besamkela ukusa, abantu basentshona yeTshayina basajongene nobumnyama obungaphezulu kweeyure ezine. Indawo esemantla eTshayina ikwindawo ephakathi koMlambo iHeilongjiang, emantla eMohe kwiphondo laseHeilongjiang.

Eyona ndawo isemazantsi ikwiZengmu'ansha kwiSiqithi saseNansha, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-5,500 ukusuka apho. Xa umntla weChina usabanjwe lihlabathi lomkhenkce nekhephu, iintyatyambo sele zidubula kumzantsi ofudumeleyo. Ulwandle lwaseBohai, uLwandle oluMthubi, ulwandle lwaseMpuma China, kunye noLwandle lwaseSouth China zingumda weTshayina empuma nasezantsi, kunye zenza indawo enkulu yolwandle. Ulwandle oluMthubi, uLwandle lwaseMpuma China, kunye noLwandle lwaseSouth China zidibana ngqo noLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, ngelixa uLwandle lwaseBohai, oluphakathi "kweengalo" ezimbini zeLiaodong kunye neShandong peninsulas, lwenza ulwandle lwesiqithi. Ummandla wolwandle waseTshayina uquka iziqithi ezingama-5,400, ezinommandla opheleleyo weekhilomitha ezingama-80,000. Iziqithi ezibini ezikhulu, iTaiwan neHainan, zigubungela iikhilomitha ezingama-36,000 zesikwere kunye neekhilomitha ezingama-34,000 zesikwere ngokwahlukeneyo.

Ukusuka emantla ukuya emazantsi, imijelo yolwandle yaseTshayina iquka iBohai, iTaiwan, iBashi, kunye neQiongzhou Straits. ITshayina inomda womhlaba oziikhilomitha ezingama-20,000, kunye neekhilomitha ezili-18,000 zonxweme. Ukuba isuka nakweyiphi na indawo kumda waseTshayina ize ijikeleze ngokupheleleyo ibuyele kwindawo yokuqala, umgama ohanjiweyo uya kufana nokujikeleza ihlabathi kwi-ikhweyitha.
