Biomes of China

Map of China's Biomes
China has a wide variety of biomes. The map above shows the biomes that are found in China. Southern China, specifically the province of Yunnan, is interesting because you find tropical biomes in a nontropical area. The rainforest is created farther north by monsoon rainclouds moving into the valleys and creating a tropical climate in the area. Southern and Eastern China's biomes allow for farming and these areas produce many crops, such as rice, wheat and corn. Western China is a unique mix of grassland, mountain and dessert biomes.
