Features: This book is part of the "China World Heritage Cultural Tourism Series." "World Heritage" refers to human and cultural achievements and natural landscapes of outstanding universal value, selected by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee worldwide. Projects listed on the "World Heritage List" are considered the "treasures among treasures" and "finest among the finest" of each country. Currently, China has 29 World Heritage Sites, including: the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site, the Ancient City of Pingyao, the Confucius Temple·Confucius Cemetery·Confucius Mansion, the Ancient City of Lijiang, the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, Mount Huangshan, and Jiuzhaigou. With a 5,000-year civilization, China has accumulated profound cultural heritage over its long history, which is condensed in these cultural and natural landscapes, allowing us to appreciate the wisdom and ingenuity of the Chinese nation and the marvels of nature. China's World Heritage Sites are a source of pride for the Chinese people. We must use our pens to depict and showcase the charm and essence of this pride. To this end, our publishing house has engaged experts to meticulously describe the cultural connotations, historical anecdotes, and landscapes of these heritage sites, resulting in this carefully curated "China World Heritage Cultural Tourism Series." Each World Heritage Site is covered in its own volume, and the series will be published as more sites are added. This series is like a knowledgeable friend, recounting the poetic beauty of Suzhou's gardens, the enchanting scenery of Jiuzhaigou, and the spiritual essence of Dunhuang in the desert. With this series in hand, you can transform a simple "leisurely stroll" into a "personal journey" of traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books. When visiting these "World Heritage" sites, don’t forget to take a photo in front of the "World Heritage" sign or flag. Your backdrop is a place of pride for the world, a destination many long to visit. We believe that after reading this series, you will gain a deeper understanding of the ancient charm of cultural landscapes and the beauty of natural landscapes, inspiring your desire to "visit and experience." When you do, you will be proud of your country's "World Heritage" sites and gain wisdom from them. More importantly, you will take action to protect these "heritages" and pass them on to future generations in a more beautiful and better state.
