China's Badain Jaran Desert: Towers of Sand and Lakes, and the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China (Phase II) successfully passed the review process on Friday by the World Heritage Committee to be included on the World Heritage List by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, said the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

The decision was announced during the 46th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in New Delhi, India.

China now has 15 World Natural Heritage sites, leading in the total number of World Natural Heritage sites worldwide. It also has four mixed cultural and natural heritage sites.

The Badain Jaran Desert, located in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is China's third-largest desert.

Scattered among the towering dunes are numerous lakes, showcasing a typical and ongoing process of aeolian landform development on Earth, while also serving as a rich and diverse habitat for wildlife, the administration said.

Within the Badain Jaran Desert are the world's tallest fixed dunes, the most densely distributed desert lakes and a variety of wind-sculpted landforms.
