he most important crop besides rice is wheat, which is grown on different parts of China, and is used to make noodles and bread. Corn is also a popular crop in north and north-eastern China. It is used both for food and for animal feed.
2.How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
A rail journey is different from a car journey in that with a car journey, if you see something interesting, you can stop and take a look. A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by train or car. However, usually you cannot see much interesting from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up and walk around than on a train.
