Mount Sanqingshan National Park

On 7th July 2008 (Quebec time), The World Heritage Committee inscribes Mount Sanqingshan National Park, China, on the World Heritage List on the basis of criterion (vii): Superlative natural phenomena or natural beauty.

Mount Sanqingshan National Park, is located at the western end of the Huaiyu mountain range of northeast Jiangxi Province, central east China, 430 km southwest of Shanghai. It displays a unique array of forested, fantastically shaped granite pillars and peaks concentrated in a relatively small area. The looming, intricate rock formations intermixed with delicate forest cover and combined with ever-shifting weather patterns create a landscape of arresting beauty.

The new World Heritage site of Mount Sanqingshan National Park rises up the total number of World Heritage properties in China to 37.
