United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, or UNESCO(联合国科教文组织), has added Mount Sanqingshan National Park to its World Heritage List as a natural site.
This brings the total number of Chinese properties on the list to 37.
An article on People's Daily website says that Mount Sanqingshan National Park, located in east China Jiangxi Province, displays a unique array of forests, uniquely granite (花岗岩)pillars and peaks concentrated in a relatively small area.
Experts say as a world heritage site, both unique natural beauty and human protection are important. Since 2005, a set of environmental-protection plans have been prepared and infrastructure around Sanqingshan has gradually been improved.
Local government says as a natural site reflecting the geologic evolvement of the earth over billions of years, Mount Sanqingshan has a universal value. More importantly, its growing reputation could be a chance for people in and outside the mount region to communicate more.
