As two BRICS countries with illustrious ancient civilizations, China and Brazil both have a long list of archaeological areas that have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Examples include the Yinxu Ruins in Anyang and the Valongo Wharf Archaeological Site in Rio de Janeiro. Following a series of protective measures taken by local authorities in China and Brazil, people are now gaining greater access to these sites.
