Map of China highlighting key physical features and water bodies.

Looking at the map and legend:

The legend lists 10 features, each with a number or name. The task is to match each feature on the map to its correct label from the legend.

Let’s go one by one:

1. Gobi Desert – This is in northern China, near Mongolia. On the map, it’s labeled as “1”.
2. Yellow River (Huang He) – Flows through northern China, curves like a big bend. Labeled as “2”.
3. Himalayan Mountains – Along the southwest border of China, very high mountains. Labeled as “3”.
4. Tibetan Plateau – High plateau west of the Himalayas, covers much of western China. Labeled as “4”.
5. East China Sea – East coast, south of Shanghai area. Labeled as “5”.
6. Yellow Sea – Between China and Korea, north of East China Sea. Labeled as “6”.
7. Plateau of Tibet – Same as Tibetan Plateau? Wait — looking again, maybe they’re using two names for same thing? But in legend, #7 is “Plateau of Tibet” and #4 is “Tibetan Plateau” — that can’t be right unless it’s a trick. Actually, looking closely at the map labels:
- Label “4” points to the large highland area in west → that’s Tibetan Plateau.
- Label “7” also says “Plateau of Tibet” — but on the map, label “7” is pointing to the same region? That seems redundant. Let me recheck.

Wait — actually, looking at the map again:

Label “4” is placed over the big mountainous/highland zone in the west → that’s the Tibetan Plateau.

Label “7” is also “Plateau of Tibet” — but perhaps it’s a mistake? Or maybe “7” is meant to be something else? No — let’s look at all labels:

Actually, I think there might be a typo in the user’s image description. In standard maps:

- Gobi Desert = 1
- Yellow River = 2
- Himalayas = 3
- Tibetan Plateau = 4
- East China Sea = 5
- Yellow Sea = 6
- Yangtze River = 8? Wait no — let’s list what’s given:

Legend has:

1. Gobi Desert
2. Yellow River (Huang He)
3. Himalayan Mountains
4. Tibetan Plateau
5. East China Sea
6. Yellow Sea
7. Plateau of Tibet ← this must be same as #4? That doesn’t make sense. Unless… wait, maybe “7” is mislabeled? Or perhaps “Plateau of Tibet” is another name for Tibetan Plateau — so both 4 and 7 refer to same place? But that would mean duplicate labeling.

Alternatively, maybe “7” is supposed to be “South China Sea”? Because South China Sea is missing from the first six.

Looking back at the original text provided by user:

In the legend box at bottom, it says:

“Gobi Desert
Yellow River (Huang He)
Himalayan Mountains
Tibetan Plateau
East China Sea
Yellow Sea
Plateau of Tibet
Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)
South China Sea
Xiang Jiang (Pearl)”

So there are 10 items listed, numbered 1 to 10 implicitly.

But in the map, only numbers 1–9 are shown? Let me count the labels on the map:

From the ASCII art, we see:

- Top left: “1” near Gobi
- Near river in north: “2”
- Southwest mountains: “3”
- Big inland highland: “4”
- East coast sea: “5”
- North of that sea: “6”
- Another label “7” — where? Probably over the same plateau? Or maybe it's a different feature?
- Then “8” — likely Yangtze River
- “9” — probably Pearl River or Xiang Jiang
- And “10” isn't visible? Maybe cut off.

Actually, in the user’s text, after “Plateau of Tibet”, next is “Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)” — which should be labeled “8”.

Then “South China Sea” — label “9”?

And “Xiang Jiang (Pearl)” — label “10”?

But in the map drawing, I don’t see “10”. Perhaps the map only shows up to 9.

Given that, let’s assign based on geography:

Standard matching:

1. Gobi Desert → 1
2. Yellow River → 2
3. Himalayan Mountains → 3
4. Tibetan Plateau → 4
5. East China Sea → 5
6. Yellow Sea → 6
7. Plateau of Tibet → this is likely a duplicate or error; if forced, perhaps it’s meant to be South China Sea? But no — South China Sea is separate.

Wait — perhaps “7” is not used? Or maybe in some versions, “Plateau of Tibet” is listed twice by mistake.

To resolve: Let’s assume the intended matches are:

- 1: Gobi Desert
- 2: Yellow River
- 3: Himalayas
- 4: Tibetan Plateau
- 5: East China Sea
- 6: Yellow Sea
- 7: ??? — perhaps this is a typo and should be “Qinghai Lake” or something, but since it’s “Plateau of Tibet”, and we already have 4, maybe ignore or combine.

But looking at common textbook maps, often:

After Yellow Sea (6), then:

7. South China Sea
8. Yangtze River
9. Pearl River / Xiang Jiang

But in the legend provided, “Plateau of Tibet” comes before Yangtze River.

Perhaps “7” is meant to be “Loess Plateau” or other, but it says “Plateau of Tibet”.

I think there’s an error in the source material. However, for educational purposes, we’ll match based on standard knowledge:

Final assignment:

1. Gobi Desert
2. Yellow River (Huang He)
3. Himalayan Mountains
4. Tibetan Plateau
5. East China Sea
6. Yellow Sea
7. [Likely error — but if must choose, perhaps skip or note]
8. Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)
9. South China Sea
10. Xiang Jiang (Pearl River)

But since the map may not show 10, and the question likely expects matching 1-9 or 1-10.

Given the constraints, and to provide a clean answer, here’s the most logical pairing based on geography:

→ Final Answer:
1-Gobi Desert, 2-Yellow River, 3-Himalayan Mountains, 4-Tibetan Plateau, 5-East China Sea, 6-Yellow Sea, 7-[unclear, possibly duplicate], 8-Yangtze River, 9-South China Sea, 10-Xiang Jiang

But since the problem likely wants simple matching without errors, and assuming "7" is a mistake, we'll proceed with standard.

Actually, upon second thought — in many Chinese geography maps, “Plateau of Tibet” and “Tibetan Plateau” are the same, so perhaps label 7 is incorrectly placed, or it’s meant to be “Inner Mongolia Plateau” or similar. But since the legend explicitly says “Plateau of Tibet” for 7, and we have 4 as “Tibetan Plateau”, it’s confusing.

To avoid overcomplicating for a student, I’ll provide the clear matches ignoring the duplication:

Correct matches:

- 1: Gobi Desert
- 2: Yellow River
- 3: Himalayan Mountains
- 4: Tibetan Plateau
- 5: East China Sea
- 6: Yellow Sea
- 8: Yangtze River
- 9: South China Sea
- 10: Xiang Jiang (Pearl River)

And 7 is either omitted or considered same as 4.

For the purpose of this exercise, since the student needs to fill in blanks, I’ll give the direct answer as per standard curriculum.

Final Answer:
1-Gobi Desert, 2-Yellow River, 3-Himalayan Mountains, 4-Tibetan Plateau, 5-East China Sea, 6-Yellow Sea, 8-Yangtze River, 9-South China Sea, 10-Xiang Jiang

(Note: Item 7 appears to be a duplicate or error in the source.)
