Chinanews, Taiyuan, Oct. 24 - The Chinese National Commission for UNESCO, the Ministry of Construction and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage have jointly decided to nominate Wutai Mountain for next year’s world natural and cultural heritage site. They hope that the application will be approved by UNESCO in 2008.
Wutai Mountain is regarded as one of the five major Buddhist mountains in the world and the most important Buddhist mountain in China. For a long time, Han-Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhist have co-existed there, producing over 20 kinds of religious schools, the most in the world.
Located in the northeastern part of Xinzhou City in Shanxi Province, most parts of the mountain have an altitude of over 2,700 meters. Its highest peak, with an altitude of 3,058 meters, is also the highest peak in northern China and therefore nicknamed "the roof of northern China". Covered by thick forests, Wutai Mountain has a relatively low temperature all year round, therefore it is also called Cool Mountain. The mountain has unique ecological environment and rich biodiversity. It has always been called a natural botanical garden and zoo. According to related statistics, there are altogether 595 kinds of plants and animals living in Wutai Mountain.
In order to better protect the ecological environment of Wutai Mountain, local government has decided to move 21 work units around the mountain area to a new place and relocate some 961 local villagers in some other places as well. In addition, officials will take a comprehensive approach to improve the landscapes in some key scenic spots in Wutai Mountain.
