📚 How to Play & Learn China UNESCO Sites
Explore China’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites
This game helps you learn where China’s UNESCO World Heritage sites are located. Instead of multiple choice questions, you click the correct province on the map and get a short fact after each correct answer.
How the Game Works
A UNESCO site name appears at the top of the screen. Your job is to click the province where that site is located. Some sites span multiple provinces — for those, select all required provinces to finish the round.
Educational Benefits
By combining geography with cultural and natural heritage, you build stronger spatial memory and learn why these sites are globally significant. It is ideal for students, teachers, and anyone who wants a quick way to explore China’s iconic places.
Tips for Success
- Group by region: Northeast, East, South, Southwest, and Northwest make patterns easier to remember.
- Expect repeats: Provinces like Fujian, Yunnan, and Sichuan appear multiple times.
- Use the zoom feature: Zoom in on dense coastal areas and municipalities.
- Read the facts: The short explanations help anchor each site to its province.
Game Features
Zoom and pan controls make the map easy to use on desktop or mobile. The scoring system rewards accuracy and speed, and your progress saves automatically for 24 hours. You can skip difficult sites and return later.
