Liu introduced China鈥檚 national park building work to participants at the ongoing 8th Worldwide Conference of the Society for East Asian Archaeology, held at Nanjing University in Jiangsu Province.
The four-day conference opened on Friday and is being attended by over 200 representatives from 20 countries and regions including scholars from Harvard University and the University of Oxford.
The parks include ancient settlements, cities, towns and palaces with high historical, cultural and academic value, like Beijing鈥檚 Old Summer Palace and Zhoukoudian.
鈥淔or the large-scale archaeological sites, like Zhejiang鈥檚 Hemudu Site, Hubei鈥檚 ancient city site of Panlong, national park management has helped bring whole cultural sites under strict protection,鈥 Liu said. 鈥淭he environment around these sites has significantly improved.鈥
