But there are only six or seven men patrolling in each locality to keep an
eye on the Great Wall, he added.
But there is some good news, a regulation to protect the Great Wall has been
sent to the State Council for review and has been included in its working plan
for this year, according to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
But what should come first is to "conduct a thorough scientific investigation
into the current Great Wall and find out about its situation," Dong and Wei
stressed.
The Great Wall is the most well known landmark in China and one of the
greatest feats of architectural engineering on the earth.
Emperor Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) unified ancient China in
221 BC and helped to establish the Great Wall.
