北京中軸線申遺實現(xiàn)新突破

Beijing has made progress in the application for its Central Axis to be included in the list of world cultural heritage sites, said Liu Hongchang, spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau, at a press conference on Sunday.

2月13日，北京市文物局新聞發(fā)言人劉洪昌在新聞發(fā)布會上介紹，北京中軸線申遺實現(xiàn)新突破。

According to a three-year action plan on the conservation of the Central Axis, projects related to cultural relics protection, environmental improvement, and resident relocation have been going well, Liu said.
劉洪昌表示，北京市高標準推進《中軸線申遺保護三年行動計劃》，保護修繕、環(huán)境整治、搬遷騰退等任務不斷取得進展。

"Our draft application text was submitted to the World Heritage Center for format review ahead of schedule," Liu said.
目前，北京中軸線申遺文本草案已提前報送世界遺產(chǎn)中心格式審查。

The Beijing Central Axis is 7.8 kilometers long, starting in the south of the city from Yongding Gate and ending with the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Most of the significant old-city buildings of Beijing are along this axis.
北京中軸線北起鐘鼓樓，南至永定門，長7.8公里，將諸多古代建筑瑰寶串聯(lián)在一起。
