My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui - Xidi and Hongcun

criteria. Cultural

Xidi and Hongcun are two traditional villages in southern Anhui Province. Their spatial organisation and landscape as well as architecture and decorative styles are definitive of the region, dating from the 14th to 20th century CE. Also distinct are their incorporation of water management systems. Underlying these physical features are the historical cultural bases of patriarchy, Confucianism, and scholar-bureaucrat feudalism.
