中国已有48处风景名胜被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产
自31年前加入《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》以来，中国已有48处风景名胜被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产。
Since joining the International Convention Concerning the protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage 31 years ago, China has had 48 locations named as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. that number is second only to Italy's 51, with 34 of the Chinese venues designated as cultural, 10 as natural, and four as mixed.
China has had 48 locations named as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
On November 6th, 1972, the 17th Session of the general Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization adopted the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Four years later, UNESCO established the World Heritage Committee, which is an inter-governmental cooperative body. This panel is responsible for adding Cultural and Natural Treasures of Outstanding Universal Value to the World Heritage List.
China ratified the Convention as a contracting party in 1985. One year later, the country began to identify and nominate locations in its territory to be considered for inclusion on the World Heritage List — and on October 29th, 1999 — China became a member state of the World Heritage Committee.
Mount Emei Scenic Area — including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area (1996)
The number of spots around the nation on the current list is 48, which ranks second overall, behind the 51 in Italy. These venues comprise some of China's most essential tourism resources, including the Great Wall, Mogao Caves, and the Imperial Palaces of the Ming & Qing Dynasties in Beijing & Shenyang, all of which were among the first selections included in the list.
