(220821) -- BEIJING, Aug. 21, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A worker carries restoration materials to a watchtower at the west part of Jiankou section of the Great Wall in Beijing, capital of China, Aug. 16, 2022. 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.

Forty years ago, a campaign to protect the Great Wall with the help of social funds was launched in Beijing. Today, social forces still play a crucial role in the Great Wall protection and restoration. An ongoing restoration project of the Jiankou section of the Great Wall adopts a "simultaneous archaeology and restoration" approach, where archaeological work is completed on a section before restoration begins. The restoration project, with the participation of research institutions, universities and social organizations engaged in non-profit activities, is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
