There are many historical and cultural heritages in China, such as the Great Wall of China in Beijing, the Summer Palace and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, etc., which are now world-class cultural treasures in the world, and of course, the Dazu rock carvings in Chongqing, which we are not so familiar with, and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi. In addition, there are hundreds of historical and cultural heritage sites in China, which have put China at the forefront of the world's material culture and enriched the history and culture of our Chinese culture for thousands of years. <>

First, the Great Wall is the most proud cultural heritage of ChinaThe Great Wall is the most representative landmark in China, and it is more than 20,000 kilometers long, mainly used to defend against foreign enemies in ancient times, and in that ancient time when science and technology were not developed, the Great Wall was built brick by brick by manpower, all of which were made by the efforts of the Chinese. Because the Great Wall is so magnificent, it has a strong influence on the world, just like many foreigners come to China, the first thing is to go to the Great Wall. <>

Second, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is China's most wonderful cultural heritage Mogao Grottoes in the very many exquisite murals and colorful Buddha statues, those exquisite works of art, let people walk into the Mogao Grottoes feel like passing through the ancient ruins, Mogao Grottoes until now is a place that tourists like to go very much, because there is mysterious beauty such as Brother Shouli, giving people an irresistible self-scum charm, so many people will still go to Mogao Grottoes many times a year to feel the shock of the Thousand Buddha Caves there, In fact, it is very rare that the Mogao Grottoes can be preserved so far, so I hope that future generations and people who go to travel will not destroy it at will. <>

In fact, there are not many historical and cultural heritages handed down from ancient times, and until now, many have been lost in the past rush time, but there are still many that have been passed down, we should use our own actions to protect historical and cultural heritage, do not destroy them at will when traveling, they have experienced the test of hundreds of years, so it is very meaningful for every brick to be dusty.
