Six new scenic spots to be opened along Great Wall in Beijing
Six new scenic spots along the part of the Great Wall in Beijing will be opened to vistors very soon, adding to the current four.
At present, about 30 km of the Great Wall in Beijing are open to visitors, including the famous Juyongguan Pass and the Badaling, Simatai and Mutianyu sections of the Great Wall.
These years, there have been many visitors to the Great Wall, particularly during the two week-long holidays of May Day and the National Day. Some of the tourists choose to visit the unopened part of the Great Wall to avoid the crowds, but their behavior may cause great damage to both the Great Wall and themselves.
The Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Administration has decided to open more parts of the Great Wall, after careful refurbishment has been done to make it safe enough. Every year, Beijing invests more than 10 million yuan on the project.
Nowadays, the Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Administration is conducting the final on-field investigation, which will come to an end in 2008.
