Special issue of the
journal “World Heritage” devoted to the world heritage in China was published
by UNESCO in July 2021. The issue covers 38 cultural, 14 natural and 4 mixed
World heritage properties in China, including one transnational World Heritage
property – a 5,000 km section of the magnificent Silk Roads network, spanning
China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. This site, the Routes Network of Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor, was inscribed in 2014
after several decades of cross-border cooperation, which has resulted in a
coordinated approach to the effective conservation of heritage along the Silk
Roads as a whole. The Silk Roads were an interconnected web of routes linking
ancient societies from east to west, and they contributed to the development of
many of the world’s great civilizations.
