In ancient times, the geographic features of China isolated the country from the rest of the world. Natural barriers, such as mountains, deserts, rivers, and seas, made travel to and from China challenging. These features also allowed people living in different parts of China to develop their own cultures. The ancient Chinese people adapted to the environment by using the natural resources it provided.
