What part of the earth is China in?
China is located in the northern hemisphere north of the equator, with the northernmost point on the central line of the main channel of Heilongjiang Province north of Mohe and the southernmost point in Zengmu shoal in Nansha Islands. The north-south latitude is nearly 50, and the longest straight line distance is about 5500 kilometers. When the northeast land is still in the season of ice and snow, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are full of spring, and the Nansha Islands extend to the equator, where it is a scene of midsummer. Longitudinally, the half of the earth from 20 west longitude to160 east longitude is generally called the Eastern Hemisphere. The other half is called the western hemisphere. China is located in the old world, with the easternmost point at the confluence of Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers in the northeast and the westernmost point on the Pamir Plateau in western Xinjiang. The longitude of the east-west span is more than 60, and the widest straight line distance is about 5 thousand kilometers. Near noon in Wusuli River, it is the morning when the sun rises in the west of Xinjiang. China is located in the east of Asia and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.
To sum up these two aspects, we can simply answer: our motherland is located in the northern half of the eastern hemisphere, east Asia, the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the Tropic of Cancer crosses the south of China.
