.:6:.

I am visiting Jiaozhou Bay and it is in the country China. The capital of China is Beijing. There are 13 other countries that border China. Those countries are Mongolia, Russia, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. The Pacific Ocean borders China. The GPS coordinates of Jiaozhou Bay are 36˚7' 24.44" N 120˚14' 44.3" E/ 36.1234556˚N 120.245639˚E. China has a continental and seasonal climate. Most parts are in the temperate zone but southern areas are in the tropical or subtropical zone while northern areas are in the frigid zone. Climates in different areas of China are different. Jiaozhou Bay looks very different than all the other bays and areas that I have been to because the water isn't as blue, mainly because the weather isn't as tropical in this area of China.The Jiaozhou Bay was a German colonial concession which existed from 1898 to 1914. In 1860, a Prussian expeditionary fleet arrived in Asia and explored the region around Jiaozhou Bay. The following year the Treaty of Peking was signed. After a bunch of trips to China between 1868 and 1871, the geographer Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen recommended the Bay of Jiaozhou as a possible naval base. Jiaozhou Bay is important because Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen recommended the bay as a possible navy base and that is what it is remembered for. Jiaozhou Bay is 7,141.4 miles from Sodwana Bay. I flew to here from Sodwana Bay. I am sticking with flying for the entire trip. It cost me $2,277 for the flight to here. I did not have any problems during my travel! It was all great. The biggest difference from China and Africa is the culture difference. The way they do stuff is amazing but so different and also the way they dress is so different from each other (Africans and Chinese).
