The Beijing Central Axis embodies a rich heritage of national traditions and historical culture, closely linked to the long history of the Chinese ancient capital that has endured for thousands of years.
In July, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital” was proudly included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This prestigious recognition highlights the cultural and historical significance of the central axis, cementing its status as a symbol of China’s enduring legacy.
To explore the principles and practices of cultural heritage preservation, CGTN’s Tian Wei engaged in insightful conversations with five panelists along this iconic axis. Their discussions delved into the efforts to preserve cultural heritage not just in China but across the world, shedding light on the universal importance of safeguarding historical sites.
The inclusion of the Beijing Central Axis in the UNESCO World Heritage List brings global attention to its unique value and the necessity of its preservation. It encourages collaborative international efforts to protect and celebrate such cultural treasures, ensuring they remain an integral part of our shared human heritage for generations to come.
