During the Han Dynasty the empire grew to a fairly large size. Their empire was mainly concentrated in what we call today China proper. China proper is on the east coast of China and is the lowest part of the area with the most rivers. This was the most hospitable place for ancient Chinese people to live because it had lowlands with rivers for farming, and the ocean for a source of food and protection. The ancient Chinese also had protection due to the large mountain ranges from the west and the Gobi desert to the north. This eastern coast of China is still its major point of agriculture and prosperity.
