This comes after the successful listing of China’s Grand Canal and the Silk Road in China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan last week. The newly added South China Karst landscapes are an extension of the first project, which was listed as a World Heritage site in 2007. The extension project includes the four new areas of Gui-lin Karst and Huan-jiang Karst in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Shi-bing Karst in Guizhou Province, and Jin-fo-shan Karst in Chongqing Municipalit. Karst landscapes are formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks, such as limestone and gypsum. South China has the world’s most diverse karst landforms. The Grand Canal spans nearly 18-hundred kilometers and flows through six provinces and two municipalities. It’s the longest man-made waterway in the world, and the largest civil engineering project prior to the Industrial Revolution. The Canal is still in use after 24-hundred years, connecting the capital Beijing and the southern economic powerhouse Hangzhou. The Silk Road was jointly submitted by China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The ancient trade route started in China and connected Asia and Europe. It enabled economic, political and culture exchange dating back 2,000 years. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 全国人民代表大会审议食品安全法 下一篇 球迷重温感人瞬间 相关文章 厄尔尼诺影响 南方恐现严重洪涝灾害康卡斯特宣布将以38亿美元收购梦工厂动画暴雨侵袭中国南方多地区中国南方将继续降雨中国南方降水量达峰值美洲峰会见 奥巴马下周将与卡斯特罗“互动”上海将为筷子文化申遗中国南方省份报告6089例登革热病例狂风暴雨席卷中国南方中国南方地区的高温警报
