Harmony between nature and human beings is the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Numerous examples can be found of the perfect combination of nature and culture in China's mountains and rivers. As of November 2003, the Chinese natural and cultural heritage sites approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for inclusion on the World Heritage List included the Taishan, Huangshan and Wuyi mountains, which posses unparalleled scenery, long histories and abundant mountain-related culture and are therefore among the few heritage sites that are both cultural and natural. Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou, the Three Parallel Rivers and Wulingyuan have been included in the World Natural Heritage List because of their wonderful scenery, rare geological formations and unique topography. Mount Lushan has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List because of its delicate scenery and especially its cultural variety. These scenic heritage sites symbolize the intimate relationship between human beings and nature, with their graceful scenery and abundant culture enhancing each other's radiance and beauty.
