The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) has recognized the restoration work of two historic streets in
Zhangzhou, China's Southeastern Fujian Province.
At a ceremony held in the
city's Zhangzhou hotel on Sunday, the UN praised the city's successful work in
preserving two streets that contain 400-year-old stone archways, a temple and
historic buildings.
The UNESCO protection award is aimed at motivating individuals and
organizations to protect ancient structures.
The project was awarded an Honourable Mention in the 2004 annual UNESCO
Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards program.
