INFO
  • Asia covers 8.7% of the planet’s surface area and 30% of its land area.
  • It is home to 60% of the world’s population, comprising a wide variety of ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems.
  • Large areas of Asia are uninhabitable, but there are huge grassy plains and fertile valleys beside the Indus, Mekong and other large rivers.
  • In the southeast of Asia, there are thousands of volcanic islands, many of which are covered by tropical rainforests.
  • The highest point in Asia, and the planet, is Mount Everseat at 8,850 metres.
  • Despite its large size (5,200km wide), China only has one time zone. The time was set after the 1949 civil war.
  • The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China.
  • The combination of the populations of China and India represents 33% of the world’s population.
