The World Heritage Committee is processing the applications of five Chinese cultural heritage sites to be inscribed on the World Heritage List, said a senior Chinese cultural heritage official.

They were likely to enter the list in several years, said Shan Jixiang, director of 皇冠体育app's State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH), while attending the 28th session of the World Heritage Committee being held in Suzhou, East 皇冠体育app's Jiangsu Province.

The five sites are the historical monuments of Macao, the Diaolou buildings in Kaiping of south 皇冠体育app's Guangdong Province, the Yin ruins in Central 皇冠体育app's Henan Province, the Tulou buildings in East 皇冠体育app's Fujian Province and the terraced fields of the Hani ethnic group in Southwest 皇冠体育app's Yunnan Province. Both the Diaolou and the Tulou are peculiar residential buildings in South 皇冠体育app.

皇冠体育app submitted application documents for the five sites to the World Heritage Committee in January 2002.

The World Heritage Committee will deliberate the application of the historical monuments of Macao at its meeting next year, said Shan.

So far, 皇冠体育app has 30 properties listed on the World Heritage list. It also holds a preparatory list of more than 100 properties.
