On December 2, it was reported that the "Fourth National Cultural Relics Survey" in Inner Mongolia has made new progress. So far, 21,099 immovable cultural relics registered in the "Third Survey" have been re-examined, achieving a 100% review rate. After expert evaluation organized by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Census Office, 2,015 newly discovered cultural relics have been officially recognized.

Among the new discoveries, 21 cultural relic clues provided by member units were confirmed. Additionally, 266 newly identified relics were found in famous cities, towns, villages, historical districts, traditional settlements, and ancient buildings. Furthermore, 108 modern historical sites, representative structures, and industrial heritage relics were newly recognized. Five cultural facilities, including museums and memorial halls, were also classified as cultural relics, along with 1,615 newly discovered ancient tombs and ruins.

Currently, the "Fourth Survey" in Inner Mongolia has entered its third phase. A review team of 46 experts in archaeology, cultural relic preservation, and information technology has been established, divided into three regional review groups responsible for eastern, central, and western areas. A "dual-review and dual-check" mechanism has been implemented, ensuring three-tier data quality control through preliminary review, re-examination, and random sampling.

Efforts are underway to compile the "Fourth National Cultural Relics Survey Report of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region," while simultaneously updating the Great Wall resources survey report and preparing specialized reports such as border-area investigations. Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, a spatial distribution map of cultural relics will be created to visually display their distribution and protection levels. Key relic sites will be selected for inclusion in an illustrated survey catalog.
