【正确答案】Located in the eastern part of continental Asia and the western shore of the Pacific Ocean, China has a territory of over 9.6 million square kilometers. It has diverse and beautiful natural and geographical conditions, landscapes with the varied features of the north, south, east, and west, as well as mountains and rivers extremely rich in fauna and flora. Such excellent geographical conditions have produced many natural scenic spots. The rich and precious cultural and natural heritage left by China’s long history not only belongs to the Chinese nation, but also is wealth of all mankind. Today, however, the cultural and natural heritage is increasingly threatened by its own degeneration for old age and by the changes of social and economic conditions.
