Suggested Answers
Tourist sites: The Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, because these are iconic places that tell a lot about the Chinese culture.
Food and drinks: Jiaozi, because it is the most representative food for many Chinese people, especially in the north. Tea, as an old Chinese saying goes, "Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day."
Ethnic minority groups: The Miao people love singing their life aloud; the Dong people live with their traditional wind and rain bridges that give people shelter when it rains. I really enjoyed staying among them and learning about their culture.
Musical instruments: The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments with over two thousand years of history. It can make very beautiful music and it has enlightenment on similar instruments in Japan and Korea. Clothes: The qipao, because it is such a beautiful dress, and so representative of the Chinese culture as a whole.
