China World Heritage Sites Photo Contest & Exhibition

The Canadian Foundation for Chinese Heritage Preservation cordially invites you to visit the 2007 China World Heritage Photo Contest and Exhibition. The entries selected from the third China World Heritage Photo Contest & Exhibition, themed China World Heritage Sites, with special feature on Shanxi and Henan, are displayed in this exhibition.

Shanxi is located on the eastern part of the loess plateau of North China. The name of the province, Shanxi, literally means "west of the mountains" - referring to the Taihang Mountains.

The name of the province Henan comes from its geographic location. Henan means the south of the river, indicating that Henan lies south of China's Yellow River. Henan province is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization due to its location on the Yellow River.

The Foundation hopes, through exhibiting photos of these heritage sites, to arouse the interests of Canadians to participate in preservation endeavours to ensure that these treasures remain a lasting legacy.
