Beijing Beefs Up Cultural Relics Protection Efforts

Beijing will allocate a total 100 million Yuan this year for protecting cultural relics in this ancient capital, marking the most mighty efforts protection in 50 years.

This year's efforts are part of a 3-year plan of the Beijing Municipal Government to protect cultural relics and historic sites throughout the city with a total input of 330 million Yuan, starting from the year 2000.

Since last year, more than 2,000 families and ten units have been relocated away from historic sites. The most eye-catching was the move-out by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Relics from Beida Honglou, the originating building of the May 4th Movement in 1919, a massive student movement against imperialism and feudalism.

According to the protection plan, a group of cultural relics sites will be repaired and cleaned up and some others will open to the public.

Beijing has a settlement history of more than 3,000 years and for over 700 years, it served as capital in different historical periods.
