Let's go! A journey to discover the World Heritage Site
Cultural heritage is like a window to the world, and these buildings and works of art are the crystallization of human ingenuity and creativity, carrying our history, culture and civilization. This book features 12 World Heritage sites, including the Great Wall of China, Himeji Castle in Japan, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Taj Mahal in India, Hierapolis and Pamkale in Turkey, the Colosseum in Italy, the Windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands, the Palace of Versailles in France, the Guards of Athens in Greece, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Ancient City of Chichen Itza in Mexico, and the Statue of Liberty in the United States. It will take you to understand the history, culture, architectural features, traditional customs, ideology and religion of these heritages.
The book is beautifully illustrated to show readers what these heritages were like at the time, and there is a "Monuments in Present" at the back of the book to give you a glimpse of the heritage as it is today. In addition, there is an extended quiz game "How much do you know about cultural heritage?" Little Guys Challenge!" to test how much you know about cultural heritage!
