Brasilia - the "youngest" World Heritage Site

Brazilia is a new city built in the desert. It took more than three years from the groundbreaking in 1957 to completion in 1960. In April 1960, Brazil officially moved its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia. Due to the scientific urban planning and ingenious architectural design of Brasilia, UNESCO listed Brasilia as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Chuanqi.
