Abstract：Relevant documents and plans for national cultural parks have clearly specified that national cultural park intended to be specific open space of cultural homogeneity. However, given the current status of development, there exists a disconnection between the value interpreting spaces and physical management spaces within the national cultural parks. On the whole, a regularized spatial management entity and the corresponding resource management system have not yet been formed. There are no real spatial boundaries, and in particular, there is no difference in the management system between the interior and exterior of such boundaries. At present, neither governments at all levels nor cultural and tourism administrations have formulated specific guidance requirements and acceptance indicators for the systematic implementation and full-function exertion of national cultural parks, which are as detailed as those for the institutional construction of national parks. Given the large scale of national cultural parks and the difficulty in applying the experience of national park system construction to the system of “provincial government assuming overall responsibility”, it is only possible to develop an industry management model with consistency in several aspects. In response to these management dilemmas, based on the theory of spatial production and from the perspective of spatial interpretation in cultural heritage protection, this study compares the Great Wall National Cultural Park with Wuyi Mountain National Park as well as its protection and development belt. By drawing on the experience of Hadrian’s Wall, which achieves unified management through co-governance and shared benefits with unified planning as a starting point, and the Rideau Canal in Canada, where professional management institutions and local governments perform their respective duties to form unified management, starting from the perspective of consistent management in utilization and guided by the theory of spatial production, a reasonable spatial implementation form for national cultural parks can be formed and unified management can be achieved. However, it is necessary to implement differentiated policies based on the classification of resource attributes. On the basis of this, the following four measures need to be taken to strengthen unified management. Firstly, strengthen the formulation of technical standards and norms for national cultural parks. Secondly, strictly define the spatial scope and connect it with the national territorial spatial planning to reflect the differences between the interior and exterior of the boundaries and the regulatory binding force of the planning. Thirdly, coordinate the funds from various sources. Fourthly, innovate management mechanisms and promote park interactions.
