The Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics stipulates that no other construction projects, nor activities such as blasting, drilling, or excavation, shall be carried out within the protection areas of cultural relic protection units. However, in cases where it is necessary to carry out other construction projects, or activities such as blasting, drilling, and excavation within the protection area of a cultural heritage site due to special circumstances, it is essential to ensure the safety of that cultural heritage site. Such actions must be approved by the people’s government responsible for overseeing that cultural heritage site, and prior to approval, consent from the cultural relics administration department at the higher level must be obtained. When carrying out such activities within the protection area of a nationally important cultural heritage site, approval from the people’s government of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government is required, with consent from the State Council’s cultural relics administration department needed prior to approval.
