In a momentous occasion at the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee in New Delhi, India, two of China's natural heritage sites have been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. One of these is the Badain Jaran Desert, situated in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The Badain Jaran Desert is renowned for its colossal mega sand dunes and numerous lakes. This striking combination of towering dunes and shimmering lakes creates a unique and majestic landscape. The inclusion of the Badain Jaran Desert in the World Heritage List not only showcases China's rich natural heritage but also emphasizes the global significance of preserving such extraordinary environments.
The 46th session of the World Heritage Committee continues to recognize sites of outstanding universal value, fostering international cooperation in the protection of cultural and natural heritage around the world.
