China is a vast land with diversified cultures. Almost every local culture has its own characteristics. Take northerners and southerners as an example. Generally speaking, they are different in three aspects. First, they have different dietary habits. Northerners prefer to have steamed bun and noodles, while southerners are used to having rice. Second, they have quite different characters. Northerners are bold and straightforward, while southerners are more cautious and shrewd. Third, they have different customs. Northerners are more affected by traditional culture, while southerners are more influenced by the western culture.
