Nine awards will be given to outstanding cultural and artistic works that have exerted a tremendous impact on the development of China’s cultural tourism industry since the founding of New China.
Each of these awards consists of one gold medal and two silver medals, relevant sources told the reporter.
The gold medal is made of 320g pure gold in the shape of Square Zun with the design of four sheep heads on four sides.

It is known as the largest square Zun among the existing bronzes during that period.
