3. China welcomes the first Cultural and Natural Heritage Day

June 10 marked China's first Cultural and Natural Heritage Day. The festival, whose name was changed in 2016 by the State Council from the former Cultural Heritage Day, is held on the second Saturday of every June.

The event, which focused this year on the theme of dynamic intangible cultural heritage inheritance, is a collective showcase of achievements on intangible cultural heritage protection since the 18th CPC National Congress held in 2012. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, over 1,700 activities were held nationwide.
