Features: This book introduces 30 cultural and natural heritage sites officially inscribed on the World Heritage List by 2004, showcasing one aspect of China's long history and unique natural landscapes. Over thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the cultural traditions of the Chinese nation have been unbroken, arguably unmatched by any other ancient civilization in the world. China has always been a multi-ethnic country, and throughout its long history, all members of this family have jointly created a splendid national culture. How to protect our world heritage is a glorious yet challenging task for us as a heritage-rich nation, a responsibility to our ancestors and future generations. Enhancing the understanding of the importance of protecting world cultural and natural heritage has always been a crucial prerequisite for conservation efforts. In recent years, many publicity departments have published books on China's world heritage sites with varying content, which have played a positive role in promoting and protecting our cultural and natural heritage. As one volume of the "Comprehensive Guide to China's Scenic Spots and Landscapes," this book hopes to help the world understand China's long history and culture, as well as its unique natural scenic beauty, and to contribute to the protection of our world heritage.
