BEIJING: The development of three national parks covering the Great Wall, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the route of the Long March will enable better protection of endangered cultural relics and bring them closer to the general public, officials and experts said.
A document issued by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council earlier this month said the country plans to complete construction of the parks by 2023 to enable protection, inheritance and exploitation of the three cultural icons’ relics and resources.
