The remaining Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD) is less than
2,500 meters.
The Great Wall will postpone face-lifting.
Chinanews, Apr.27 - The China Great Wall Society (CGWS) revealed that
owing to many experts' opinions that to repair the nicks on the Great
Wall would lead to further destruction, the novel face-lifting ideas
selected through the proposal solicitation activity will not be adopted
for the moment.
The proposal solicitation activity collected nearly 6,000 opinions from
varied social organizations and individuals at home and abroad. CGWS
summed up the suggestions and presented them to experts in ancient
architecture, renovation and cultural relic protection for advice. CGWS
assistant secretary general Zhang Ji stated that many experts believe the
notches on the Great Wall are so deep that to renovate them according to
collected proposals will cause further damage to the Great Wall.
Zhang disclosed that after deliberation, experts decided to suspend the
renovation program and reserve the current status of the Great Wall till
they find an ideal solution.
