Beijing: China's National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) on Saturday announced 10 new national archaeological site parks, bringing the country's total to 65 across 21 provincial-level regions. The newly added parks, which include the Taosi national archaeological site park in north China's Shanxi Province and the Dawenkou national archaeological site park in eastern Shandong Province, aim to enhance the understanding of China's historical and cultural legacy.

According to Namibia Press Agency, these parks showcase various aspects of the formation and development of the pluralistic and integrated civilization of the Chinese nation. The initiative to select national archaeological site parks began in 2010, and since then, these sites have become significant attractions, drawing numerous visitors annually.

The establishment of these parks is part of China's broader effort to preserve its cultural heritage and promote cultural tourism. By adding these new sites, the NCHA continues to highlight the rich history and diverse cultures that have shaped China over millennia.
