List of World Heritage Sites in Eastern Asia

None

None

The UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has designated 99 World Heritage Sites in five countries (also called "state parties") of East Asia: China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea and Japan.{{cite web |access-date = 20 October 2011

In this region, China is home to the most inscribed sites with number of 55. The first sites from the region (and only sites designated in the 1980s or before) were the Great Wall of China, Mount Tai, the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian, Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Mogao Caves and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and all of them were in China. Each year, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee may inscribe new sites on the list, or delist sites that no longer meet the criteria. Selection is based on ten criteria: six for cultural heritage (i–vi) and four for natural heritage (vii–x). Some sites, designated "mixed sites," represent both cultural and natural heritage. In Eastern Asia, there are 74 cultural, 21 natural, and four mixed sites.

The World Heritage Committee may also specify that a site is endangered, citing "conditions which threaten the very characteristics for which a property was inscribed on the World Heritage List." In this region there are no sites currently listed as endangered, nor have any been listed previously. Possible danger listing has been considered by UNESCO in a number of other cases.

Although a number of sites in Taiwan have been proposed, interference from the People's Republic of China has prevented any site on the island from being listed.
