(230807) -- CHONGZUO, Aug. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Researcher Li Wenqin (R) and ranger Liang Zhizhang observe white-headed langurs at a national nature reserve in Luobai Town of Jiangzhou District, Chongzuo City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Aug. 5, 2023. China's white-headed langur is one of the world's most endangered primate species. Characterized by the white hair on their heads, the animals are spotted in less than 200 square km karst hills between the Zuojiang and Mingjiang rivers in Chongzuo. In recent years, in order to better protect the white-headed langur, patrolling and technological measures including infrared cameras and remote monitoring have been applied to track and monitor them around the clock. The latest figures show that the population of white-headed langurs has increased to about 1,400 thanks to a group of guardians who dedicate themselves to protecting those "elves" in spite of many difficulties.

    CHINA-GUANGXI-CHONGZUO-ROCK PAINTING (CN)

    (230809) -- NINGMING, Aug. 9, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Zhu Qiuping, a cultural relics protection expert, contemplates Huashan rock paintings in Ningming County, Chongzuo City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Aug. 8, 2023. The Zuojiang Huashan site is home to more than 1,900 well-preserved drawings on the face of the Huashan mountains along the Zuojiang River and its tributary Mingjiang River in Chongzuo. The brownish red paintings, created from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) to East Han Dynasty (25-220), depict the sacrifices of the Luoyue people, ancestors of today's Zhuang ethnic minority. It is said that the major images of the paintings are frog-shaped people -- a totem of the Zhuang ethnic group. Some of those paintings also show sports scenes. It remains a mystery how the Luoyue managed to paint on the rocks. The group of rock paintings was included into UNESCO's world heritage list in 2016. (Xinhua/Zhou Hua)
