Province goes all out to protect cultural heritage

Thanks to local government efforts to protect and preserve intangible cultural heritages, visitors to Shandong province can see numerous traditional folk arts and skills.

"It is because of the cultural heritages, our cities have become what they are now," said Xu Xianghong, head of the Shandong provincial cultural department.

"Inherited for generations, the intangible cultural heritages are endangered. They should be protected and developed to serve people," Xu said.
