World heritage refers to the rare and currently irreplaceable wealth of mankind recognized by UNESCO and the World Heritage Committee. It is a cultural relic, monument and natural landscape of outstanding significance and universal value recognized by all mankind. In general, World Heritage includes four categories: "World Cultural Heritage", "World Natural Heritage", "World Cultural and Natural Heritage" and "Cultural Landscape". In a broad sense, according to form and nature, world heritage is divided into cultural heritage, natural heritage, dual cultural and natural heritage, memory heritage, intangible cultural heritage, and cultural landscape heritage.
