Are there any protected land in china

[muffin_99]

Dear cecil,
With growing population more and more land is being used by human beings every where in the world. We see the jungles and rain forest disappearing. What about china, is there any protected land which is left untouched to preserve the nature but also kept in its original state for future generation. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Like any country, land has been gradually been `converted' into built up areas.
However, the good news is that China is one of the four countries with an ancient civilzation lasting for more than 5,000 years old.
With such a history, there are many (many) historical buildings and landscapes like the Guilin, the site where Shapes and Form School was said to have originated.
Many of these locations have become tourist attractions. Because of the tourism, it has helped to preserve monuments e.g. Chinese Temples, Tombs, the Great Wall etc..
Many Chinese had the idea that when they grow old, they would like to visit China. But contrary to this, it would be better if one is young to visit China.
The reason is because, of walk, walk and walk. If one is too old, one cannot enjoy the vast sights and large monuments.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
