Central Asia

Central Asia or Middle Asia is the core region of the Asian continent and stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north.

A majority of the people earn a living by herding livestock. Industrial activity centers in the region’s cities.
