Wuyuan county in Shangrao, Jiangxi province, safeguards thousands of historical structures. During the fourth national census on cultural relics in China, staff members from the county's cultural heritage conservation center are systematically documented ancient architecture.
They have also surveyed the ancient wells, trees and tombs of historical figures within traditional villages.
The county allocates 8 million yuan ($1.12 million) annually to subsidize the repairs of heritage sites including ancient buildings, post roads, bridges and tombs, boosting villagers' participation in preservation efforts.
