LHASA, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) — Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region (XAR) has uncovered 3,346 new cultural relics during the second round of the fourth national cultural relics census, bringing the total number of cultural relics in the region to 7,623, the XAR's cultural heritage protection administration said Thursday.
The census, which began in April 2024, covered all county-level administrative units in Xizang. Key discoveries include rock carvings in Sakya County, at an altitude of 5,303.8 meters above sea level, recognized as the highest-altitude cultural relic discovered in China.
The newly registered relics include ancient tombs, architectural structures, cave temples, stone carvings, and historical monuments. Special surveys were also conducted in 21 border counties, resulting in the discovery of 254 objects related to territorial and border protection.
Local authorities, in particular, plan to step up efforts to document relics in old parts of cities in Xizang. -0-
