International Cartoon Exhibition "World Heritage in Beijing"/China2025

On July 11, 2025, at the 47th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, the Western Xia Mausoleums were officially inscribed on the World Heritage List, raising the total number of World Heritage sites in China to 60, among the highest in the world.

Beijing, a city rich in world heritage, embodies the brilliance of Chinese civilization. The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Ming Tombs, Grand Canal, and Beijing Central Axis—each is a crystallization of history and wisdom, a vivid carrier of dialogue between world civilizations. To rejuvenate these treasures in the new era requires both in-depth cultural interpretation and creative artistic expression.

The "World Heritage in Beijing" 2025 International Cartoon Exhibition warmly invites cartoon artists worldwide to explore the treasures of Beijing’s world heritage, bringing them to life with innovative imagination and youthful cartoon perspectives. Through this universal visual language, artists are encouraged to reinterpret historical narratives, philosophical ideas, artistic achievements, and the spirit of the times, granting ancient wisdom new vitality, and inspiring global audiences to protect and cherish cultural heritage.
