Facts about Asia
 1. Asia is bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Indian Ocean to
the south, the Red Sea (as well as the inland seas of the Atlantic Ocean—the Mediterranean and the
Black) to the southwest, and Europe to the west.
2. Asia’s population is unevenly distributed, mainly because of climatic factors. There is a concentration of
population in western Asia as well as great concentrations in the Indian subcontinent and the eastern half
of China. Asia, the most populous of the continents, contains some three-fifths of the world’s people.
3. Asia is the birthplace of all the world’s major religions—Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam,
and Judaism—and of many minor ones.
4. Asia also contains the greatest mountain mass on Earth’s surface: the Plateau of Tibet and the bordering
mountains of the Himalayas, Karakoram Range, Hindu Kush, Pamirs, Kunlun Mountains, and Tien Shan
5. Asia produces vast quantities of fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, and coal—in addition to being
a significant contributor to the global production of many minerals.
6. Asia has the largest continental economy by both GDP Nominal and PPP in the world, and is the
fastest growing economic region.[55] As of 2018, the largest economies in Asia are China, Japan,
India, South Korea, Indonesia and Turkey based on GDP in both nominal and PPP.
7. East Asia had by far the strongest overall Human Development Index (HDI) improvement of any region
in the world, nearly doubling average HDI attainment over the past 40 years, according to the report's
analysis of health, education and income data.
China
Facts of China

1. One-third of China's land area is made up of mountains. The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, sits on the border
between China and Nepal.
2. China has thousands of rivers. The Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers are the most important. At 3,915 miles (6,300
kilometers) long, the Yangtze is the world's third largest river.
3. Much of China's modern beliefs and philosophies are based on the teachings of a government official who lived nearly 3,000
years ago. Kongfuzi, also known as Confucius, taught people the value of such things as morality, kindness, and education.
4. China's diverse habitats are home to hundreds of species of animals and plants. More than 3,800 species of fish
and hundreds of amphibians and reptile species live in the rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
5. The giant panda lives in the misty mountains of southwest China and nowhere else on Earth. They eat bamboo and
usually live near stands of the woody evergreen plant. Pandas have been hunted and only about 1,600 remain in the wild.
6. China is an authoritarian state ruled by a very powerful central government. A huge workforce and lots of natural resources
have driven economic change. This has forced the communist government to permit more economic and personal freedoms,
but it has come at a huge cost to the environment.

Facts of Japan
1. There are four main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. There are also nearly 4,000 smaller
islands.
2. Almost four-fifths of Japan is covered with mountains. The Japanese Alps run down the center of the
largest island, Honshu.
3. Three of the tectonic plates that form Earth's crust meet nearby and often move against each other,
causing earthquakes. More than a thousand earthquakes hit Japan every year. Japan also has
about 200 volcanoes, 60 of which are active.
4. The Japanese are famous for their willingness to work very hard. Children are taught to show respect for
others, especially parents and bosses.
5. Japanese food is very different from food in Western countries. There is lots of rice, fish, and vegetables,
but little meat.
6. Most of Japan is covered by countryside. But with more than 100 million people living in such a small
place, wildlife has suffered.
7. The warm Tsushima Current flows from the south into the Sea of Japan, where it meets a colder current
from the north. The mixing of waters makes the seas around Japan very rich in fish and other sea life.
8. Japan is the only country in the world with a reigning emperor. Emperors have no real power, but they
are still revered as a symbol of the country's traditions and unity.

Thailand
Facts
1. Thailand is in the heart of Southeast Asia. Cambodia and Laos border the country to the east and
northeast, and Myanmar lies to the northwest. To the west is the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand,
southeast of Burma. The long southern region, connecting with Malaysia, is hilly and forested. The
highest mountains are in northern Thailand.
2. About 90 percent of the people are Buddhist, but about three million Muslims live in the south near the
border with Malaysia.
3. Thai farmers cultivate mulberry trees that feed silkworms. The worms create silk, which is made into
beautiful silk clothing in Thailand, France, and the United States.
4. Lotus flowers are common and the favorite flower in Thailand. In the jungle, one can find carnivorous
(meat-eating) plants such as the mysterious insect-eating pitcher plant.
5. The deep forests are home to tigers, elephants, wild ox, leopards, and the Malayan tapir. The tapir is
covered in black fur on the first half of its body and white fur to the rear. Cobras and crocodiles are also
found in Thailand.
6. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over
by a European power. A revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy.
7. Thailand, which means “land of the free,” was known as Siam until 1939.

 The
Philippines
1. The Philippines is an archipelago, or string of over 7,100 islands, in southeastern Asia between the South
China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The two largest islands, Luzon and Mindanao, make up for two-thirds
of the total land area. Only about one third of the islands are inhabited.
2. The Philippines are inhabited by more than 200 species of mammals, including monkeys, squirrels,
lemurs, mice, pangolins, chevrotains, mongooses, civet cats, and red and brown deer, among others.
3. The islands are home to many species of flowering plants and ferns, including hundreds of species of
orchids.
4. Many Filipinos have Spanish names because of a 19th-century Spanish decree that required them to use
Spanish surnames, or last names. Parents often name their children after the saint whose feast day was
on the day of their birth.

• The lowlands are at sea level and the mountains of the Himalaya are the tallest in the world. Mount Everest
rises to 29,035 feet (8,850 meters) and is the world’s highest peak.
• Nepalese are from four main groups: the Hindu caste, the Bhotes, the hill tribes, and the Newar. The
Hindus originally came from India and continue to follow the caste system. Hill people include the Sherpas
and other tribes.
• Sherpas are born way up in the mountains at elevations above 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) and are known
for their ability to guide tourists in high altitude climbs. They teach visitors about Sherpa culture and
Buddhism's love of the land.
• The Bhotes live in mountains in the north and are originally from Tibet. The Newar are the original
native people of the Kathmandu Valley.
• People in Nepal rely on trees for most of their energy needs. Forests are rapidly being cut down and used as
firewood in heating and cooking.
• Animal species are also becoming extinct due to population growth and deforestation. The Bengal tiger,
the Asian one-horned rhinoceros, the snow leopard, and the Ganges freshwater dolphin are all endangered
animals.
• In June 2008, Nepal ended its monarchy. At that time King Gyanendra, who had come to power in 2001
stepped down from the throne. Nepal's parliament chose its first president soon after.
