Located in Beijing's suburban Huairou District, the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, once known among the hikers as "the deserted Great Wall", is believed to be one of the most dangerous parts of the relic. A restoration project, mainly focusing on a 1,678-meter-long wall with 8 watchtowers in the west part of Jiankou section, is expected to be completed by the end of October. The project is implemented in adherence of the principle of "minimum intervention" to ensure maximum authenticity, integrity and ancient historical features of the Great Wall. Meanwhile, a research-based restoration project is also underway with the aim of reinforcing and eliminating potential safety hazards as well as changes and existing conditions of the Great Wall through multidisciplinary cooperation.
