Abstract：
Scenic and historic areas represent a quintessential protected area category with distinctive Chinese characteristics. These areas play a pivotal role in conserving natural and cultural heritage, enhancing urban and rural living environments, safeguarding national ecological security, and perpetuating Chinese cultural traditions. The spatial distribution dataset of 244 scenic and historic areas in nine batches of China was developed based on the lists of 244 national scenic and historic areas released by the State Council in 1982, 1988, 1994, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2012, and 2017. The geographical coordinates of national scenic and historic areas were extracted using Baidu Maps and Google Earth. The dataset includes essential attributes such as park name, classification, designation batch, and administrative boundaries, etc. The dataset is archived in .shp and .xlsx formats, and consists of 7 data files with data size of 989 KB (compressed into one single file with 78.5 KB).
