Via Danny Fisher:
"Nestled in Northeastern China, Mount Wutai has witnessed the building of Buddhist temples since the first century C.E. and it is home to some of China’s old existing wooden buildings. Some of which have stood since 900 C.E. ... In Spain, on Friday, June 26th, nearly two millennia of Buddhist history has convinced the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee to name Wutai as a World Heritage Site, given that it is home to 68 temples, 150 towers, 146,000 sculptures. But alas, it was not qualified to be a world natural landscape."
