World Heritage Site

A World Heritage Site is a special place that is recognized by the United Nations as having important natural or cultural features. To be recognized as a World Heritage Site, the place must be considered to be of importance to all of humanity. This means that these places have unique features that make them especially valuable or significant. For example, some World Heritage Sites are well-known landmarks like the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt. Other World Heritage Sites are places that are important to the environment, like the Galapagos Islands, or places that are important to culture, like the city of Bagan in Myanmar. These places are so special because of their deep connection to humankind and our shared history.
