Govt. to crack down on damage to Great Wall
    2016-July-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    THE State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) will launch a campaign to crack down on criminal damage to the Great Wall.

    The campaign will involve regular inspections and random checks on protection efforts by authorities in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

    The SACH will open a special tip line which the public can call with information about violations and damage to the Great Wall.

    Built over 2,000 years, from the third century B.C. to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Great Wall stretches over 21,000 kilometers from Gansu Province to Hebei Province. According to SACH statistics, about 30 percent of a 6,200-km section of the wall built in the Ming Dynasty has disappeared, and less than 10 percent is considered well-preserved.

    The Great Wall has faced threats from both nature and humans. Earthquakes, rain, wind and other natural elements have left the wall with many decayed and crumbling bricks.

    Human activities have damaged the landmark, according to research by the China Great Wall Society.(Xinhua)
