The Grand Canal, built in the 5th century BC, is a vast waterway system running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south. Around 9,000 kilometers away from Beijing, in Italy, the 2,300-year-old Appian Way connects Rome to the city of Brindisi in the southeast. The two ancient transport routes were once significant national thoroughfares, with some sections still in use today. The Grand Canal was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2014 and local authorities along the waterway have been working on environmental protection efforts and cultural park building for years. Coincidentally, the Appia Regina Viarum Project was launched in 2016 with around $22 million investment to restore the Appian Way for walking again. The ancient road is in a bid for a World Heritage status. Grand Canal

Peking opera, inscribed in 2010 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is a performance art dating back to the late 18th century and incorporates singing, reciting, acting, and martial arts.

Italy selected Italian opera singing over its beloved 'caffe' as the country's submission for intangible heritage recognition by UNESCO. In their hearts, opera is the national symbol that best presents Italian culture to the world.
