It had arid deserts (the Gobi Desert and the Taklamakan Desert) to the north and west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and impenetrable mountains (the Himalaya Mountains) to the south; additionally, they had two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, a great source of fresh water, food, fertile soil, and transportation. All this helped China to progress independently from other world civilizations.
