Beijing Restores Cultural Sites for 2008 Olympics
Scaffolding is covering many historic sites in China's capital as the city restores its landmarks in time for the "human-oriented Olympics" in 2008.

The overhauling of the entire Forbidden City, the first since 1911, is well underway and expected to be completed in time for the Olympics, said Jin Hongkui, deputy curator of the Palace Museum.

In southeastern Beijing, ranks of workers are laying ancient bricks donated by local residents to rebuild a section of the once-demolished Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) city wall.

"The restoration of the wall keeps to its original appearance,? said Luo Zhewen, a famous Chinese specialist in ancient buildings.

Other historical sites to be restored include the ancient walls of the Yuan (1271-1368) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, the Altar of Earth, the Xiannong Altar and the ruins of Yuanmingyuan, or the old Summer Palace.

To rebuild its image as an ancient capital, the city government plans to invest 120 million yuan (US$14 million) annually from 2003 to 2008 to protect cultural remains, according to Mei Ninghua, director of the municipal department of cultural relics.

Mei noted that Beijing will raise another 700 million yuan (US$84 million) from different social circles to make the total sum reach 1.3 billion yuan (US$157 million) in the coming five years.

"We hope tourists can still enjoy Beijing's ancient history amid its rapid growth," Mei said.

With a history of over 3,000 years and as ancient China's capital for over 800 years, Beijing is known for a vast number of cultural sites like the Great Wall, Summer Palace, noble residences, hutong (lanes) and famous siheyuan (courtyard compounds).

To further protect its historical and cultural sites, Beijing unveiled a new program in September to safeguard the old city.

Under the program, 40 protection zones are defined with protection areas totaling 2,617 hectares, about two fifths of the old city.

Beijing is also striving to have the whole imperial city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties added to the United Nations list of World Heritage sites.
