Here are some more information for China Qing Dynasty:
There are antioxidants in all teas-white, green, oolong and black. The anti-oxidants are the strongest in the teas with the least amount of processing, such as white and green tea, which have fewer oxidation processes during production. However, oolong and black tea still maintains healthy amounts of antioxidants, and have a bolder flavor, making them preferred for drinking.
In Chinese teas, oolong has a taste similar to green tea but lacks the grass underlying flavor. It lacks the rosier, sweet aroma of black tea, and thus falls in between the combination of the two. It is usually brewed to be strong, and has a slight bitterness with a sweeter aftertaste.
There are several varieties of oolong tea that are primarily produced in the Wuyi Mountains of northern Fujian and the central mountains of Taiwan. The teas are rolled into long, curly leaves or pressed into ball shapes.
The name oolong is a Chinese phrase meaning black dragon tea. According to Chinese Qing dynasty poems, oolong tea first existed in the Wuyi Mountains, and was named after the area it came from.
There are several processes that the oolong tea goes through, primarily cooling, bruising of the leaves for oxidation, roasting and aging benefit oolong tea. Are there antioxidants in oolong tea? There are antioxidants in all oolong tea, but the amount varies on the amount of roasting, aging and oxidizing.
Oolong tea offers many benefits through the anti-oxidants, and many people drink 5 to 6 cups per day, especially in Asian countries. The anti-oxidants help cell regeneration, and fights toxins in your system. Oolong tea is also good to drink for weight loss, and the processing makes it lighter on your stomach than black tea. It makes you feel fuller and gives you additional energy boosts while boosting metabolism and burning more calories.
The Chinese culture has used oolong tea for centuries for its healing abilities and anti-aging properties. It is usually steeped, not boiled and the leaves can be reused multiple times, unlike green teas, and it gets better each time.
In Chinese tea culture, oolong teas are made with high-grade tealeaves, which are moderately fermented, making them neutral and lower in caffeine.

Tourist Attraction Great Wall Of China
When you said that you have been to China as a sight seeing tourist, invariably people will ask you whether you have you visited The Great Wall Of China.
Why are people so obsessed with this ancient fortress monument? Well, as someone who have taken a sightseeing tour of the Great Wall, I can sum it up in one word. The Great Wall of China is awesome!
I was awestruck by the spectacular scenery and its courageous history. This gigantic monument is considered by many people as one of the wonders of the world. Any tourist traveling to China must definitely make visit the Chinese tourist attraction.
The Great Wall of China is over 2,000 years old and it is a monument rich in history. It was first conceived and constructed by Qin Shi Huang or also known as Shi Huang Ti, who was the first emperor of China. The wall is called "Wan-Li Qang-Qeng" in Chinese when translated literally means 10,000 li long wall which is equivalent to about 5,000 km or 2,272 miles long.
The Great Wall Of China was constructed as a military fortification against intrusion by invading normadic ancient tribes. The Chinese people at that time called these tribes barbarians since the Chinese royalties were living in sprawling palaces and these tribes were living in tents.
After the emperor Qin unified China in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took more than a decade to construct and the great wall stretched from Lintao in the eastern part of Gansu province in the west to Liaodong in Jilin province in the east. The wall not only served as a defensive bastien against invaders in the northern parts of China, it is also a symbol of power for the proud emperor.
From the Qin Dynasty onwards, Xiongnu (translated from Chinese as fierce anger), which was an ancient tribe that roamed Northern China, frequently make incursions and plunder towns and villages along the northern border.
During the Han Dynasty in and around 121 BC, emperor Han Wu Di, ordered three military expeditions to repel and quash the Xiongnu tribe. The military expeditions successfully pushed the Xiongnu tribe into the far north of the Gobi desert, which is a tundra.
In order to secure the safety of the Hexi Corridor (now Gansu province), the emperor also ordered the construction of the extension of the Great Wall westward into the Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang region. The ruins of the tower beacons and debris of the Han Wall are still preserved in Dunhuang, Yumen and Yangguan districts and provinces. There is also a report that more ruins of the Han Wall have recently been discovered near Lopnur in Xinjiang province.
The present day Great Wall Of China in Beijing is mainly the remains from the Ming Dynasty era. During this golden era of Chinese culture, bricks and granite were used when the workers laid the foundation of the wall. Sophisticated designs and passes were also constructed in places of strategic military importance.
To further empower the military's control of China's northern frontiers, the Ming Dynasty government divided the Great Wall into nine zones and placed each zone under the command and control of a Zhen, which is a military garrison headquarter.
The Ming Wall begins at Yalujiang River in what is now in Heilongjiang province, through Liaoning, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia provinces, to Gansu reaching a length of about 12,700 li (about 5,200 km or 2,400 miles).
Although The Great Wall served succeeding dynasties very well for a few hundred years as a defence bastion against invading forces, the invaders from the north in the end were able to advance and conquer China in succeeding dynasties such as Mongolians (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchus (Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911) did.
With such splendidly rich history and panoramic views, is it any wonder why the Great Wall Of China is one of the most visited tourist attraction in the world?

Did China ever occupied parts of Siberia during Qing dynasty?
It wasn't technically Siberia but parts of the Russian Far East were clearly part of China until fairly recently. This is so clear that Russia does not contest it, any more than the US contests that California and Texas and everything in between were once part of Mexico
