Longyan Municipal People s Government:
It s the greatest delight for me to hear that the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO has inscribed China Fujian Yongding Hakka Tulou in the World Cultural Heritage List.Recalling the ten-year efforts you have made since 1998 when you initiated the application for the inclusion of Tulou in the World Cultural Heritage List, I m so gratified that you eventually made it and the cultural heritage our Hakka ancestors created has been recognized by the world.
The China Fujian (Yongding) Tulou Hakka Cultural Festival hosted by your city 10th~11th July will add to the glory of the success of the inscription. Congratulations!
Sincerely yours,
Wu Po-hsiung
