(231210) -- LANZHOU, Dec. 10, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Sept. 6, 2022 shows the Hecangcheng relic site in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. Gansu Province is home to multiple sections of the Great Wall that add up to 3,654 kilometers in length. The Hexi Corridor, a critical part of the ancient Silk Road winding through south of the province, boasts more than 1,400 kilometers of the Wall built in the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD), and over 1,200 kilometers erected in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Gansu is therefore dubbed "an open-air museum of the Great Wall." (Photo by Zhang Xiaoliang/Xinhua)

        (240508) -- BEIJING, May 8, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on April 25, 2024 shows a relic dating back to the Sui Dynasty (581-618) of the Zhaozhou Bridge at Zhaoxian Museum in Zhaoxian County, north China's Hebei Province. Built in the Sui Dynasty (581-618), the 1,400-year-old Zhaozhou Bridge stands over the Xiaohe River in Zhaoxian County, Hebei Province. It is the world's oldest single-arch bridge. A combination of location, design and excellent construction are the main reasons why the bridge has withstood earthquake, flood and war for 1,400 years. Along with such world-famous landmarks as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, the bridge was listed into China's first group of national cultural heritage protection sites in 1961. Nowadays, the Zhaozhou Bridge scenic area has been open to public for free, bringing numerous tourists into the county. (Xinhua/Wang Yuguo)

                    (240421) -- NANYANG, April 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This undated photo shows Li Zhe making a wooden pyrography at a studio of Nanyang Pyrography Factory in Nanyang City, central China's Henan Province. Nanyang Pyrography, a traditional Chinese art originated from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 AD), has a history of over 2,000 years. The craft, using tools with high temperature to draw patterns on carbonizable materials, creates visual effects resembling traditional Chinese paintings. It was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2021. Li Zhe, 54, is a provincial-level inheritor of Nanyang Pyrography. Having being engaged in the profession for 30 plus years, Li first used iron needle grilled by oil lamp to form patterns on chopsticks and rulers, which made it a difficult task to finish a high-quality pyrography as the temperature of the iron needle was hard to control. With the electric soldering iron replacing the old one, the quality and efficiency of the craftwork are greatly improved
