Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start our trip in the Land of the Rising Sun. If we were to fly into Tokyo to begin our quest, which of the "Home Islands" would we be landing on?

Answer: Honshu

Honshu is the largest of the Japanese Islands, accounting for about 60% of the total land area of Japan. Since World War II, Japanese planes are not allowed to fly over Tokyo, so Tokyo's Narita International Airport is actually nearly 40 miles east of the city.
2. We were told that we really should visit Japan's Three Holy Mountains. We have made plans to visit Mount Tate and Mount Haku. Which other site do we need to make plans to visit?

Answer: Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is an active volcano that is located about 60 miles south west of Tokyo. The last recorded eruption began in December 1707 and lasted about two weeks. It is the highest peak in Japan with a height of 12,389 feet. Mount Fuji is a well recognized symbol of Japan.
3. Our next stop is Seoul, South Korea. To get there from Tokyo, Japan, we have to fly over a large body of water. In Japan it is called the Sea of Japan. What do South Koreans call this same sea?

Answer: East Sea

Most nations refer to the body of water bounded by Japan, Russia and the Korean Peninsula as the Sea of Japan. In 1992, South Korea began requesting that the international community consider calling the sea in question the East Sea. North Korea suggested calling it the Korean East Sea. Japan claims that the sea has been known as the Sea of Japan since the 19th century. South Korea claims that they were under Japanese rule during this time so the traditional Korean name was not considered.
4. As we are making our way through Seoul, we drive over the Hangang Bridge. Which river are we crossing?

Answer: Han River

The Han River begins as the North River Han and South River Han. These two converge and become the Han River that then flows through Seoul and merges with the Rimjin River and eventually makes it way to the Yellow Sea. It enters the Yellow Sea at the Demilitarized Zone which separates North and South Korea.
5. If we fly from Seoul to Beijing, China, we would fly over the Yellow Sea, Korea Bay and which other sea?

Answer: Bohia Sea

Due to its proximity to Beijing and its many seaports, The Bohia Sea has become one of the busiest sea routes. Much of China's offshore gas and oil production is in the Bohia Sea. The oilfields in this area have been producing since the 1960s. As a result of this production, several oil spills have occurred here.
6. While we are in Beijing, we really should go see the Great Wall. A famous section of the Great Wall passes just north of Beijing; it was built to protect the Juyongguan Pass. In which mountain range is this pass located?

Answer: Jundu Mountains

The Jundu Mountain Range is about 50 miles northwest of Beijing. This portion of the wall know as Badaling was built in the Ming Dynasty to protect Beijing. This is the first portion of the wall that was opened to visitors. This is the section that was visited by President Nixon on his historic China visit in 1972 and has been visited by many other heads of state and tourists since.
7. For our next stop, we decide that we want to see the Three Gorges Dam, so we travel to the town of Sandouping. Which river will we be seeing?

Answer: Yangtze River

The dam, which took nine years and almost 32 billion US dollars to build, spans the Yangtze River. The river originates in the Tibetan Plateau and runs nearly 4,000 miles until it drains into the East China Sea. Oceangoing vessels were able to navigate 1,000 miles inland before the dam was completed and about 1,500 miles after the completion.

It serves as a major link for international shipping from the interior of China to the world.
8. Since we have been to the Mississippi River Delta, we should visit the Yangtze River Delta. Which city should we fly into?

Answer: Shanghai

Shanghai, the most populous city in the world (as of 2018) with a population of 24 million, is located in the Yangtze River Delta. It is located on an alluvial plain, which is created by deposition of silt over a long period of time. This also makes for fertile soil and generally flat land. And speaking of the Mississippi River Delta, Shanghai lies at roughly the same latitude as New Orleans, Louisiana.
9. Before we leave China, let's do some gambling. Where would we go to find some world class casinos in this part of Asia?

Answer: Macau

Macau is an autonomous territory on a peninsula on the south east coast of China. It was formerly a Portuguese colony that was transferred back to China in 1999. It is a resort city known for casinos and luxury hotels. Since 2006, it has the world's largest revenue from gambling. It has been called the Las Vegas of Asia.
10. If we were to make one more stop in Hong Kong and visit what is considered to be the world's busiest seaport, what harbor would we be visiting?

Answer: Victoria Harbor

Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor is a sheltered, deep water port on the South China Sea. In addition to the seaport, it is also a major tourist attraction. The Hong Kong Tourism board puts on a nightly light and sound show, weather permitting. Firework shows are added for special events and holidays.

The Avenue of Stars which is modeled after Hollywood's Walk of Fame was opened in 2004. It honors Hong Kong's movie stars with plaques.
