This photo taken on June 26 shows the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province. Built in 652 during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the pagoda is a masterpiece of China's Buddhist architecture. It was inscribed on the World Heritage list on June 22, as a site of the ancient Silk Road. UNESCO designated a 5,000 km stretch of the Silk Road network from Central China to Central Asia as a new World Heritage Site. The corridor spans China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and includes 33 new sites and several previously designated heritage sites. [Photo/Xinhua] |
