HOPING to better protect the World Cultural Heritage-listed Historic Monuments of Dengfeng, the cultural heritage officials in central China's Henan Province said yesterday that they will limit tourist numbers during peak travel times.
"We have taken measures to restrict the number of tourists and the burning of incense," said Gong Songtao, deputy director of the administration of cultural heritage in Dengfeng City.
Nestled in the Songshan Mountains, the "Center of Heaven and Earth" is composed of eight clusters of 11 buildings and sites, including the Shaolin Monastery, the Three Han Que Gates, the Observatory, the Songyang Academy and the Songyue Pagoda.
"Carbon dioxide and humidity levels are also being strictly monitored," Gong said, "since high concentrations of those chemicals may damage the structures."
