It includes extinct animals like the quagga, a type of zebra that died out in the late 19th century.
The pictures were taken by photographer Frederick York and then were transferred onto glass plates and hand-painted to add color. Only a few slides have survived. [...] The quagga is a type of zebra of which only a handful of images exist. The animal went extinct in the wild by 1878, while the last captive specimen died in Amsterdam in 1883. It was also the first extinct animal to have its DNA analyzed. [end excerpt]

The water conservation project, in Xing'an County, 70 kilometers from Guilin, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, had strategic military importance in ancient China and was ordered to be built by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) to help unite the country. [...]
However, protecting the ecosystem of the Lingqu Canal remains the priority in developing the ancient water conservation project, according to Huang.
"No industrial plant has been allowed to open along the canal since the 1950s," he said. "We always revere the canal. Though it's challenging to balance protection and development of the canal, preservation of relics should always come first, as we will lose everything if the canal gets damaged." [end excerpt]

But today, it's a small city and largely undiscovered travel destination in north China's Shanxi Province that's worth exploring for its historical legacy.
The city recently hosted the first Great Rivers Civilization Forum on Tourism to promote travel related to the Yellow River. The slogan was: "All travels are about leaving home; but, in Linfen, you arrive home."
"The Yellow River has sired Chinese civilization and shaped numerous places in Shanxi with natural beauty and profound culture, especially in Linfen," mayor Liu Yuqiang says.
Legendary emperor Yao (c. 24th-23th centuries BC), who declared the settlement his capital, remains a symbol of the city today, much like the city was a symbol of his reign millennia ago. [end excerpt]
