On Thursday, the Jiangxi Shangbao Terraces were officially included on the 2022 World Heritage Irrigation Structures List, among China's 30 entries. The terraces, whose development can be traced back at least 2,200 years, cover approximately 3,400 hectares, mostly distributed among 26 administrative villages. The elevation profile of the "largest Hakka terraces in the world" varies by nearly 1,000 meters.
