Shared heritage

Article Abstract:

Recently, UNESCO placed Lijiang, China on its list of cultural heritage sites. This picturesque city has already been despoiled by modern influences. However, enough of the old charm survives to bring in about 30,000 tourists visit the city. To preserve its past and its appeal to tourists, the city is embarking on a self preservation program.
