Detailed explanation-1: -To the north and west of Ancient China were two of the world’s largest deserts: the Gobi Desert and the Taklamakan Desert. These deserts also provided borders that kept the Chinese isolated from the rest of the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -To the north and west we also find vast deserts, such as the Gobi, Asia’s largest desert, and the Taklimakan. These natural borders, as well as the Great Wall, kept ancient China isolated from the rest of Eurasia and protected it from foreign invaders that might want to take land and resources.
Detailed explanation-3: -To the north is the Gobi Desert, and to the west lies the Taklamakan Desert. The Pamir, the Tian Shan, and the Himalayan mountain ranges form a tight curve on China’s western border. Because of those natural barriers, China remained isolated from much of the ancient world for thousands of years.
Detailed explanation-4: -With vast mountain ranges including the Himalayas standing imposingly to the southwest, the Gobi Desert to the north, and the Pacific Ocean stretching out to the east, the Chinese were in relative isolation from the rest of the world until the 1800s.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ancient China’s geography shaped how its culture and civilization developed. It was isolated from much of the rest of the world by deserts to the west and north, large mountains to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. This isolation led the Chinese to develop independently outside other ancient civilizations.
