As a result, the number of China's World Heritage sites, including both cultural and natural heritage, increased to 33. The Chinese civilization is long-standing and possesses abundant heritage resources. These invaluable treasures are not only the pride of the Chinese people but also a shared treasure of the world. To better promote and carry forward these heritages, the "Walking in China" series has specially launched this book. It aims to showcase the natural and humanistic essence of these 33 World Heritage sites to readers through rich-layered textual introductions, heart-stirring image displays, and incisive value analysis. Let readers experience a profound spiritual shock while learning about the long-standing history and splendid heritage of our country. At the same time, it also inspires a solemn sense of mission to promote the spiritual and cultural heritage of our nation and protect the shared heritage of humanity.
