One more Chinese property on World Heritage List
The 21 members of the committee agreed to add Tulou, the unique residential architecture of Fujian Province in southeastern China, on the World Heritage List as a cultural site, bringing the total number of Chinese properties on the list to 36.
Built from the 11th century to the 20th century in the mountainous areas across Fujian and neighboring provinces, the Tulou buildings were aimed at meeting the requirements of a whole clan to live together. They also serve other functions such as defense.
