Acknowledgment of Contributors

感谢所有为 Heritmap 投稿的朋友们。你们的每一篇文章、每一张照片，都是这份文化地图不可或缺的一部分。正是因为有你们的参与，Heritmap 才能不断丰富和完善。

We sincerely thank all contributors who have shared their articles and photos with Heritmap. Each submission is an indispensable part of this cultural map. It is through your participation that Heritmap continues to grow and flourish.

Heritmap is designed to tell stories about cultural heritage in China digitally in teenagers' eyes. Our mission is to advocate for preservation of cultural heritage and connect people with the beauty and significance of cultural sites through interactive tools like maps, photos, and stories.

This website is not only a digital archive but also a study tool. By describing both the advantage and giving advices to the management of historical sites, Heritmap provides a comprehensive viewpoint about preservation and offers reviews with real-experiences.

This site is coded in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript under partial help from artificial intellegence*. Designed and managed by Jerry Sun, it uses interactive mapping and is hosted via Vercel.

By the time of our graduation (May, 2026), the goal is to complete some detailed heritage pages as well as a whole-functioning web. Future plans include adding a user-submitted gallery (promote own experience), multilingual support (languages other than Chinese and English), and vacation planning features.

Specifically, individually listed if exist.

This website is created by Sun Jingyuan (Jerry Sun) with partial help from ChatGPT* (OpenAI).
