It has a long coastline facing the Pacific Ocean to the east. It also has many mountain ranges and rivers, with major rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers playing especially important roles. This geographical diversity also influences China's culture and economy. Ethnically, in addition to the Han majority, there are 55 minority ethnic groups, including the Uyghur and Tibetan people.
