The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, meets each year to choose the latest additions to its World Heritage list. Today, let's have a quick look at some of the latest additions.
Ruins of Liangzhu City(China)
The ruins of Liangzhu stand for an early state with a collective (集体的) belief system based on rice growing, dating from 3,300 to 2,300 BC. The ruins, UNESCO says, are a "good example of one of the earliest urban civilizations (文明)" They also include a water conservation (保护) system and different kinds of burying grounds.
Jaipur City(India)
Also known as the Pink City, Jaipur is an amazing achievement in urban planning and building. Founded in 1727, it is now recognizable for its large public squares, palaces, markets and pink buildings. UNESCO says Jaipur's urban planning shows an "exchange of ideas from ancient Hindu as well as modern Mughal and Western cultures".
Architecture (建筑) of Frank Lloyd Wright(United States)
UNESCO also recognized the work of famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The group added eight of his buildings to the World Heritage list. They include the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, California and Unity Temple in Chicago, Illinois.
