The Badain Jaran Desert, located in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is China's third-largest desert.
沙漠中的高耸沙丘间散布着众多湖泊，展示了地球上典型风成地貌长期的形成过程，同时也为野生动物提供了丰富多样的栖息环境。
Scattered among the towering dunes are numerous lakes, showcasing a typical and ongoing process of aeolian landform development on Earth, while also serving as a rich and diverse habitat for wildlife.

2. 黄（渤）海候鸟栖息地（第二期）
The other nomination, the migratory bird sanctuaries, is a serial extension of the property of the same name that is already listed on the World Heritage List. The newly admitted five sites, namely an estuarine wetland in Chongming, Shanghai; the Yellow River estuary in Dongying, Shandong province; a wetland area in Cangzhou, Hebei province; a national-level nature reserve in Dalian, Liaoning province as well as the Yalu River estuary in Dandong, Liaoning, are part of Phase II.
国家林草局指出，包括这两处新入选的遗产地在内，中国的所有遗产地均堪称生态文明建设和美丽中国实践的典范，同时彰显了中国在全球生物多样性保护领域中的坚定决心与卓越贡献。
China's heritage sites, including the two newly listed ones, are typical representatives of China's ecological civilization and the construction of a beautiful China, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration said. They also highlight China's strong determination and outstanding contributions to global biodiversity conservation, it added.
随着这两处遗产地成功列入《世界遗产名录》，至此，中国已拥有15项世界自然遗产、4项文化与自然双遗产，世界自然遗产总数继续保持全球第一。
