Built in ancient times to keep invading Mongols out,the Great Wall is a historical treasure for China.
Stretching for thousands of kilometers acrossnorthern China, the World Heritage site is a marvelthat attracts tens of thousands of tourists everyyear.
But the massive length of the wall is also itsgreatest weakness.
In rural areas, the wall continues to disappear with alarming regularity due to erosion andvandalism.
Aside from tourist spots near major cities such as Beijing, most of the wall is in poor conditionand research indicates that 74 percent of it is poorly protected.
"In the summer of 2014, we discovered that the walls were toppled.
There were people buying scorpions from villagers to make Chinese medicine, and eachscorpion was worth 5 cents.
Five cents meant nothing to adults, but was appealing to children.
Since scorpions resided between bricks, children toppled the Great Wall to catch them."
Hou added that the rural areas of the wall, without the promise of tourists, lack profitability,which leads to a lack of protection from officials.
Besides vandalism, the weather itself is largely to blame for the problem, according to localresident A Mao, who did not want to give his family name.
"It starts weathering once the weather gets drier.
If the weather is rainy or windy, it weathers as well.
There are cavities. They needed to be fixed."
Although China’s State Council recently issued new regulations to protect the wall, the currentsituation remains gloomy.
But according to the Beijing municipal government, Beijing, Hebei, and Tianjin have reached anagreement on repairing and protecting the Great Wall in rural areas.
