BEIJING, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Xixia Imperial Tombs were inscribed on the World Heritage List on July 11 during the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Paris, France. This marks China's 60th World Heritage site.
Located at the foot of Helan Mountain in Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the Xixia Imperial Tombs represent the largest, highest-ranking, and best-preserved archaeological remains of the Xixia Dynasty (1038-1227).
The heritage area encompasses nine imperial mausoleums, 271 subordinate tombs, one architectural complex at the northern end, and 32 flood control facilities.
Through nearly half a century of excavation, over 7,100 exquisite artifacts have been unearthed, including a gilded bronze ox and a glazed Chiwen. These findings vividly showcase the features of Xixia civilization.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee recognized the Xixia Imperial Tombs as an outstanding testament to multicultural fusion.
Their spatial layout, design philosophy, and architectural forms inherited the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties' imperial mausoleum systems while integrating Buddhist beliefs and ancient local ethnic customs. This created unique funerary traditions and demonstrated the dynasty's significant role in cultural and commercial exchanges along the Silk Road during the 11th to 13th centuries.
The Chinese government's tremendous efforts and outstanding achievements in protecting the cultural heritage of the Xixia Imperial Tombs were highly commended by the Committee.
Since being designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit in 1988, the site has established comprehensive laws, regulations, and a management system.
Particularly since 2000, in collaboration with professional institutions, 60 major reinforcement projects have been successfully implemented on the tombs themselves. These have essentially eliminated instability risks and surface erosion issues affecting the imperial mausoleums and main subordinate tombs.
Furthermore, the removal of approximately 100,000 square meters of buildings and modern facilities within the heritage zone, combined with the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring and early-warning platform, has effectively ensured the site's authenticity, integrity, and preservation environment.
International scholars point out that the Xixia Imperial Tombs serve as crucial physical evidence for studying ancient ethnic relations, architectural arts, and funerary traditions in China. Their successful inscription enriches the diversity of global cultural heritage.

Xinhua Silk Road: Ancient ethnic Chinese legacy revealing cultural fusion inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage
TAIPEI, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, today launched its High-Speed 10GbE LAN Series, a portfolio of LAN modules built to address the growing networking demands of edge AI applications. As edge AI applications increasingly rely on real-time data exchange between sensors, edge servers, and endpoints, network connectivity has become a critical foundation for system performance. The series comes in both M.2 and PCIe form factors, delivering high-throughput, low-latency connectivity with DPDK, PTP, and SR-IOV, enabling efficient processing for data-intensive workloads in space-constrained environments.
Unleash Full-Speed Networking
As edge AI adoption accelerates, traditional 1GbE connectivity is increasingly unable to support real-time data processing, high-resolution video streaming, and multi-sensor integration. Innodisk's 10GbE LAN Series tackles these challenges with low-latency connectivity powered by Intel E610/X710 Ethernet controllers, and supports DPDK 25.07/DPDK 16.11, PTP, and SR-IOV to accelerate packet processing, ensuring time synchronization, and improving resource utilization in virtualized environments. This enables consistent, high-performance networking across edge AI applications, including inference, AGV and AMR coordination, smart factory vision, and NVR surveillance.
Versatile Design, Rapid Deployment
The series is available in M.2 2242, M.2 2280, and PCIe low-profile form factors, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of embedded systems without major redesign. Its daughterboard architecture, paired with high-speed shielding cables, enables flexible installation in space-constrained environments while reducing integration complexity and accelerating time-to-market.
Selected models also support wide-temperature operation from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring stable performance in demanding conditions, such as outdoor deployments and factory automation.
Industry Firsts in M.2 Form Factor
Innodisk expands the boundaries of M.2 networking with multiple industry-first designs. Its EGPL-T203, dual-port 10GbE LAN module with wide-temperature support, is the first of its kind in an M.2 form factor rated for -40°C to 85°C Ta, enabling reliable deployment in harsh environments. The series also introduces EGPL-T2F1, the first M.2-based SFP+ LAN module, recognized with the Embedded World 2026 Best in Show Award, supporting both optical and direct-attached copper SFP+ modules for high-speed fiber connectivity.
Alongside these innovations, additional models, including EGPL-T103, ELPL-T101, and ELPL-T201, complete the lineup, offering flexible configurations to address deployment needs. As edge AI continues to evolve, the need for faster, adaptable networking is becoming essential. Innodisk's High-Speed 10GbE LAN Series brings together performance, compact form factors, and deployment flexibility, making it easier to build efficient, high-speed systems at the edge.
