Virgin Komi Forests
The Komi Forest covers 3.28 million hectares of tundra and mountain tundra in the Ural Mountains and is one of the most extensive remaining primary boreal forests in Europe. This vast expanse of coniferous forests, poplars, birch trees, peat bogs, rivers and natural lakes has been monitored and studied for more than 50 years. It provides valuable evidence of the natural processes that affect the biodiversity of the coniferous forests.
Pirin National Park
The site is located in the Pirin Mountains in southwestern Bulgaria, at altitudes between 1008 and 2914 metres, and covers over 27,000 hectares, including a diverse limestone mountain landscape with glacial lakes, waterfalls, caves and predominantly coniferous forests. The site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1983. The extension currently covers an area of about 40,000 hectares in the Pirin Mountains, overlapping with the Pirin National Park, with the exception of two areas developed for tourism (skiing). The main part of the extension is high mountain areas with altitudes above 2000 metres, mostly covered by alpine meadows, rocky scree and peaks.
Putorana Plateau
The site, which matches the size of the Putolansky State Nature Reserve, is located in the central part of the Putolan Plateau in northern Central Siberia. It is approximately 100 km north of the Arctic Circle. The World Heritage-listed part of the plateau contains a complete set of subarctic and Arctic ecosystems in an isolated mountain range, including pristine taiga, forest tundra, tundra and Arctic desert systems, as well as unspoiled cold-water lake and river systems. A major reindeer migration route passes through the property, an exceptional, large-scale and increasingly rare natural phenomenon.
China Danxia
Chinese Danxia is the Chinese name for the continental red terrigenous sedimentary landscapes that have been shaped by internal forces, including uplift, and external forces, including weathering and erosion. Listed Danxia landforms include six areas in subtropical southwestern China. These areas feature spectacular red cliffs and a range of erosional landforms, including dramatic natural columns, towers, gullies, valleys and waterfalls. These rugged landscapes help preserve subtropical broadleaf evergreen forests and are home to many plant and animal species, about 400 of which are considered rare or endangered.
Beijing Xishan National Forest Park
Xishan National Forest Park is located in Xiaoxishan, the western suburbs of Beijing, spanning the three districts of Haidian, Shijingshan and Mentougou. It is based on the Beijing Xishan Experimental Forest Farm, with a total area of 5,970 hectares. It is an important part of the Beijing Suburban Scenic Area and the closest national forest park to Beijing. Xishan National Forest Park belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate type, and the zonal vegetation is temperate summer green broad-leaved forest. There are more than 250 species of plants belonging to 73 families. The park has a vast forest area and many kinds of wild animals, including more than 10 species of mammals, more than 50 species of birds, and several amphibians and reptiles. Xishan National Forest Park belongs to the remnant of Taihang Mountain, a rocky mountain area, a low mountain area, with steep shady slopes and gentle sunny slopes. There are many historical relics in Xiaoxishan (Xishan National Forest Park). In the Ming Dynasty, the gentle foothills of the front face of Xiaoxi Mountain were mostly used for the construction of imperial palace cemeteries. The famous ones include the tomb of Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty (Zhu Qiyu) and the tombs of the seven concubines of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, namely the East Four Tombs. In the Qing Dynasty, the area around Xiaoxi Mountain was once known as the "Eight Courtyards of Xishan" and "Three Mountains and Five Gardens", and this place was the garrison of the Eight Banners Army. There are still villages such as the Zhenghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner, as well as ruins such as watchtowers. At the same time, the ancient sites in the Xiaoxi Mountain area are widely distributed, forming a unique cultural landscape. In addition to Xiangshan, Reclining Buddha Temple, and Badachu, there are also historical sites such as Fuhui Temple, Fahai Temple, Ksitigarbha Hall, Yaoyue Cave, Jingfu Temple, and Wuliang Hall. In addition, there are tombs of celebrities such as Mei Lanfang, Ma Lianliang, Yan Shaopeng, Liu Bannong, Liu Tianhua, Tong Linge, and the Heishanhu Battle Monument.
