The World Heritage Committee will consider two Chinese sites for inscription on the World Heritage List during its annual meeting slated for July 8 in Vilnius, Lithuania, a Chinese official said in Beijing Wednesday.

 

The two Chinese sites are the Great Panda habitat in southwest China's Sichuan Province and the ruins of the Shang Dynasty (16th-11th centuries B.C.) capital in Anyang city of central China's Henan Province, according to Tian Xiaogang, secretary general of the National Commission of China for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
