CHINA-CHONGQING-GUANGYANG ISLE-ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION (CN)

(230704) -- CHONGQING, July 4, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Parents and children visit Guangyang Isle for an ecological education tour in southwest China's Chongqing, July 3, 2023. Located at the most extensive green island in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Guangyang Isle, covering around 10 square km, has a vegetation coverage rate of over 90 percent, and 594 species of plants and 452 species of animals have been recorded. But its ecological system and biodiversity were severely damaged due to a number of aggressive real estate projects that had lasted for years. In 2017, the commercial activities were stopped and the local government began to restore the ecological system of the island, which sits in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Guangyang Isle is now an "ecological classroom" where residents and tourists can get in touch with nature and gain insights into China's ecological civilization progress. (Xinhua/Tang Yi)

The Nara National Cultural Properties Research Institute said its discovery lends support to the hypothesis that the original compound of the world's oldest wooden building remains intact to this day.
