What was the first important trade route from Europe to China?
There was a route during the Middle Ages called the Silk Road, which went from China, across Central Asia to Eastern Europe. There was transportation through the area before the Silk Road opened, also, but it was less important.
Some ancient transportation went through Persia, but it did not distribute much between China and Europe, tending more to distribute between Persia and both destinations. This meant that the Chinese goods and European goods stopped in Persia and did not go farther.

Why are there so many people in China?
The distribution of all species on Earth, including humans, is dictated by the environment -- geography, temperature, amount of rainfall, and competition for limited resources, especially food. China is an old civilization with a long agricultural tradition. It is estimated that China already had a population of 60 million around 2 BC during the Han Dynasty.
Throughout the ages, China improved on its agricultural techniques which allowed for a higher crop output. The import of New World crops in the 16th and 17th centuries allowed China to grow crops on otherwise poor agricultural land. These are all proximate reasons for China's large population. The ultimate reason is, however, rainfall. Regular rains promote constant agricultural production and this allows greater numbers of humans to have sufficient food. China receives huge amounts of rain along the southern and eastern coasts. The population density in various regions of China is for the most part directly correlated with the amount of rainfall those areas receive.
Even the population losses of World War II and the Chinese civil war were offset in a relatively short time by a high birth rate. The PRC has eventually been forced to attempt to regulate birth rates by law, to avoid overpopulation.

The Qibla Wall
The Prayer Wall, as it is sometimes called, is one of the most important areas of the mosque. In the photo of Magribija above, it is the wall on the right-hand side.
This wall is very specifically orientated, and that is why mosques often seem misplaced as they face a completely different direction than the other buildings on the same street. It's also why, when you view a Muslim city from the air, all mosques are pointing in the same direction regardless of the countless directions all the other buildings in the city face.
The mosque itself points towards Mecca, and if you picture the direction to Mecca as a straight line - then the Prayer Wall is the wall of the mosque that cuts across the top of it like the top of a letter 'T'. So that wall faces in the direction of Mecca
