East Asia Click on a photo or highlighted country below

China		North Korea
Japan		Hong Kong

Eastern Asia is also sometimes known as the Orient, and so I decided to include Mongolia, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea and Japan into eastern Asia. Taiwan is considered to be part of China, but as they have their own language and culture, are not controlled by China, and have been recognized as independent by many nations around the world I too consider it another country. Countries in east Asia are known for being extremely safe, their technology advances, and their ancient history.
