This spring the protectors of Kulangsu’s natural beauty set brand new goals. They developed four unique models in order to adequately organize and direct actions. So, do you know what these four models are? ★ Cultural heritage protection and use model ★ Community social governance model ★ Cultural tourism integration model ★ Model of team building management.

One of the 13 houses represents a great issue for the management since the repairing process has been taking longer than expected, and there are also certain complications when it comes to property rights.
