9 . The Chinese government has sped up the protection of the cultural relics in Tibet, spending more than 300 million yuan in 2006 for the protection of some valuable sites, an official said in Beijing Thursday.

It is reported that there are around 2, 000 cultural relic sites in Tibet, among which 35 are under state-level protection, and 216 of them under various levels of government protection.
