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.

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。

Within the Badain Jaran Desert are the world's tallest fixed dunes, the most densely distributed desert lakes and a variety of wind-sculpted landforms.

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.

黄（渤）海候鸟栖息地（第二期）是对已列入世界遗产名录的同名遗产系列的扩展。新加入的五个栖息地是：上海崇明东滩；山东东营黄河口；河北沧州南大港；辽宁大连蛇岛——老铁山和辽宁丹东鸭绿江口，这些都属于第二期。

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.

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。
