Former UNESCO intern wants Guizhou village to be world heritage site

"Therefore, after finishing the one-year internship, I decided to go around China, trying to get to know more about it," she said.

After she went back to her hometown in Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture, Jilin province, she returned to the village when others were still enjoying their Spring Festival holiday.

After returning to the village, she began to collect information for submission to UNESCO to compete for recognition as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
