Tusi Sites
Located in the mountainous region of southwestern China, the site comprises the remains of several tribal territories whose leaders were appointed by the central government as "Tusi", hereditary rulers from the 13th to the early 20th century. The Tusi system originated from a system of dynastic government of ethnic minorities dating back to the 3rd century BC. Its aim was to unify the national administration while allowing ethnic minorities to preserve their customs and way of life. The site's Laosicheng, Tangya and Hailongtun fortress ruins are outstanding testaments to this form of governance, which originated in Chinese civilization during the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
Hanseatic City of Lübeck
Lübeck, the former capital and queen city of the Hanseatic League, was founded in the 12th century and flourished as a major trading center in Northern Europe until the 16th century. It remains a center of maritime trade, especially with the Nordic countries. Despite damage during World War II, the basic structure of the old town remains intact, consisting mainly of 15th- and 16th-century noble residences, public monuments (the famous Holstentor brick gate), churches, and salt warehouses.
Historic Centre of Warsaw
More than 85% of Warsaw's Old Town was destroyed by Nazi troops during the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. After the war, Warsaw citizens launched a five-year reconstruction campaign, and today the Old Town with its churches, palaces and markets has been meticulously restored. It is an outstanding example of an almost complete reconstruction of history from the 13th to the 20th century.
