China’s institutions responsible for protecting and managing World Cultural Heritage have undergone continuous adjustments and changes，driven by the eighth round of the State Council’s institutional reform plan launched in 2018. As a result of the reform，10.26% of institutions changed their nature in 2022. The percentage of professional and technical staff，as well as practitioners with higher education has increased in these institutions，despite a decrease in their total number. Specifically，27.04% of the personnel are experts or technicians，and 45.31% of the practitioners hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. In 2022，professional trainings in heritage management were mainly conducted online. Albeit on smaller scales，the training courses introduced the latest concepts in World Heritage management and heritage impact assessment，making the participants more informed and educated. The guidelines for heritage work in the new era further emphasized the exhibition，interpretation，disaster prevention and mitigation of cultural properties. These priorities were reflected in the thematic training programs and institutional expenditures.
