Axis becomes center of attention

China Daily  

The Temple of Heaven is one of the landmark attractions along the Beijing Central Axis. Lyu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, says he has seen the Beijing Central Axis application for the UNESCO listing bring tremendous vitality to the capital, igniting people's love for the city and awakening cultural confidence and awareness. Lyu says the focus of future work around the central axis lies in the full use of the area's history and cultural resources to play a positive role in conveying its value and having more people understand China. Luo Kai, an official from the new social stratum association of the capital city's Dongcheng district, believes it's important to vividly present the central axis to the youth. "Youth plays an important role in the protection and sustainable development of the Beijing Central Axis," says Luo, who has engaged in cultural heritage education for years.
