National Cultural Ecosystem Conservation Areas of China

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A National Cultural Ecosystem Conservation Area (NCECA) is a specific area designated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China. Created to holistically protecting cultural patterns that are historically and culturally rich, in good state of existence and have important values and distinctive features, its core function is to preserve the intangible cultural heritage in China.

Sixteen out of twenty-three conservation areas were formally designated by the Ministry. The rest of them are technically called "experiment areas". A formal designation as "National Cultural Ecosystem Conservation Area" will only be granted upon completion of the project, subject to inspection and acceptance by the Ministry.
