25、l Heritage site.China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully complete the process。 The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area. It is the largest interti

26、dal mudflat seashore in the world。 The success of this application marks the beginning of Chinas world natural heritage from land to sea.

Meanwhile， the sheer area

32、that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers， some 14.3 square kilometers, makes protection a difficult issue to handle。 Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure. Plans are also underway to build
