SHANGHAI published a fifth batch of more than 400 newly listed historic buildings over the weekend.

They will all be under strict legal protections and they will be closely monitored by local authorities, officials said.

The 426 “heritage architectures” bring the total number of the city’s listed historic structures — such as garden villas, lane buildings and industrial relics — to 1,058 across the city’s 16 districts.
