Abstract The typical Yardang landform cosmically distributed on arid regions of China has potential qualifications as world natural heritage, but it dos not be listed on the world heritage list to this day. According to the criterions of the "Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention", this paper evaluates the values of China's Yardang landform from the viewpoint of world heritage and proposes that Chinas Yardang landform meets the criteria of world natural heritage. The significance of Chinas Yardang landform listed as world heritage is also discussed in the paper. It is suggested that the local governments should start the declaration work as soon as possible.
