These are popular, but the Great Wall is 【小题6】 complex structure and deserves more attention. So we tried something new.” Liu also adds, “A series of 【小题7】 (program) like ours have been launched in China, with a combination 【小题8】public education and restoration of relics through digitization.” The Great Wall 【小题9】 (list) as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1987, the first of 【小题10】 (it) kind in China.

If the Taj Mahal is a【小题6】 (celebrate) of the heart, then the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are 【小题7】 monument to the mind and spirit. 【小题8】 (build) by several emperors between 1368 and 1915, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values.

Human life lasts only a short time【小题9】 art and culture last forever. The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites programme attempts to preserve the best of human history.
