Bolivia is a landlocked country in central South America, bordering Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, with a land area of 1.98 million square kilometers. The legal capital is Sucre, and the actual government residence is La Paz.

Bolivia is rich in natural resources, so it is called "the donkey sitting on the gold mine". In addition to the famous mineral deposits, there are also famous Inca Empire sites. In addition, the country has the second largest natural gas field in South America after Venezuela.

La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia, is the seat of parliament and government agencies and the largest city in Bolivia. It is over 3600 meters above sea level and is the highest capital in the world. Bolivia is located in the tropical area with low latitude, and the climate in the low altitude area is hot, so the population is mostly distributed in the relatively high altitude area in the southwest, which is cool and suitable for living.

Cultural practices

Bolivian Indians look and dress like Tibetans in China, with dark skin. Both men and women like to wear felt hats, and women like to wear thick multi-layer dresses and skirts. Due to historical reasons, most Indians live in hilly areas with relatively high altitude, engaged in grazing or working for mine owners.

Most people in Bolivia eat meat, mainly cattle, pigs, chickens and mutton. Common dishes on the table are tomatoes, potatoes, onions and lettuce.

The more lively festival in Bolivia is the carnival from February to March every year. Among them, the carnival in Oruro is the most spectacular. People in China's major cities and even neighboring countries are wearing colorful holiday costumes and masks, singing and dancing, attracting many tourists.
