Insider Monkey Score: 12

As one of the oldest and largest civilizations in the world, it comes as no surprise that China is the country with the highest number of Intangible Cultural Heritage elements recognized by UNESCO. During the past few decades, the country has gone through an extraordinary process of modernization, but it still hasn’t lost sight of its glorious past riches and has invested significant resources into the promotion and preservation of cultural heritage.

Even after the lockdowns are over, the number of foreign tourists visiting China is only a fraction of pre-pandemic levels, with the sector relying on domestic travel to survive.
