Commenting on the Committee’s decision, Fu Qisheng, head of the Fujian Provincial Bureau of Cultural Heritage, told Xinhua: "The successful inscription of ’Gulangyu historic international settlement’ to the list marks the fact that China’s world heritage undertakings have made significant progress, and shows that the cultural construction and cultural relics protection in Fujian Province has reached a new level. For those working for the Fujian cultural relics protection, it is both great honor and a huge responsibility."
