China spans five time zones but uses a single national time (UTC+8), meaning sunsets in the west can occur as late as 10 PM local time.

What people get wrong about China

The flag question offers Vietnam, North Korea and Taiwan. Vietnam is one big yellow star on red. China is one big star and four small ones in the corner. North Korea has a red star in a white disc on a red band; Taiwan has a white sun on blue in the canton. Count the stars. The outline is shown beside India, Russia and Mongolia. China is the rooster, with the head in Manchuria and the tail in Xinjiang. Mongolia is the smaller lump sitting on its back.

The capital is Beijing, asked plainly and again as the home of the Forbidden City. Trivia asks the capital a third time, which country the Great Wall stretches across, and which country borders both China and India (Nepal). In numbers we hold the population, 1,410 million, the area, 9,597 thousand square kilometres, and the Amur, which runs along the Russian border. Explorer marks the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army and the Forbidden City easy. Zhangjiajie, the Li River, the Potala Palace and the Pudong skyline are marked hard. Mount Everest is filed under China, since the summit sits on the border with Nepal.
