In September 2017, the BRICS Summit was held in Xiamen.

At the welcome banquet, President Xi Jinping introduced the city he had worked in: "Xiamen has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. It is a famous garden on the sea in China. More than a month ago, it was known as the 'World Architecture Museum' and 'International Historical Community'. Gulangyu Island, a small island in Xiamen, has been officially included in the World Cultural Heritage List, adding new colors to the city."

　　In 1986, Bagua Building, the largest villa on Gulangyu Island, was in disrepair and dilapidated for a long time, and more than a dozen families lived in it.

Gong Jie, the director of the Xiamen Museum at the time, approached Xi Jinping, the then deputy mayor of Xiamen, who was in a meeting on Gulangyu Island, and reported the situation.

Because of Xi Jinping's decision on the spot, the old building was saved.

Today, Bagua Tower has become a landmark building of Gulangyu Island.

The renovation plan of the Bagua Tower has also become a sample for the renovation of other old buildings on Gulangyu Island, which laid a solid foundation for the successful application of the historical and cultural community of Gulangyu Island.

　　When Xi Jinping was in Xiamen, he presided over the compilation of the "Xiamen Economic and Social Development Strategy from 1985 to 2000". One of the important contents is to regard Gulangyu Island as a "national treasure" and use this high degree of unified planning and protection and construction.

　　In the process of protection, Gulangyu Island has always followed Xi Jinping's instructions, not only as a tourist resource, but also for overall planning and protection from the perspective of traditional cultural protection.

For example, Gulangyu Island and Xiamen City (district) were not connected by modern transportation methods back then, deliberately avoiding too much outside intervention on the island and avoiding increasing the pressure on island tourism.

　　On July 8, 2017, at the 41st World Heritage Conference, "Gulangyu Historic International Community" was included in the "World Heritage List".

Hearing that Gulangyu Island has successfully applied for the World Heritage Site, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued an instruction: "Preserve the cultural heritage left by our ancestors carefully, so that the historical context can be better passed on."

　　On January 30, 2023, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage announced that my country will comprehensively increase cultural relics protection projects this year.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during the 39th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, we must actively promote the protection and utilization of cultural relics and the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, tap the multiple values ​​​​of cultural relics and cultural heritage, and spread more Chinese culture and Chinese spirit. value symbols and cultural products.
