China's National Day is over. During this time thousands of tourists will descend on the Great Wall. In this situation, China has announced the punishment for anyone who rises in the 'wild' part of this UNESCO-declared world heritage. The BBC reported this on Wednesday.
‘Wild Great Wall’ or ‘Wild Great Wall’ is a well known term in China. The term is used to refer to the part of the famous structure that has not been renovated and tourists are not allowed to visit. October 1 is China's National Day. From this day on, the citizens of the country have been on holiday for a week. They travel to different places in the country and abroad. That is why this time is called the 'Golden Week' for tourism.Yu Hanquan, director of cultural monuments administration in Beijing's Yanqing region, told China's daily newspaper Global Times that this year's National Day holiday would last eight days. They think that the number of tourists trying to enter the 'Wild Wall' area will be much higher during this time.
Authorities warned that anyone attempting to enter the restricted part of the Great Wall would face fines ranging from 200 yuan to 30,000 yuan. Security on the Great Wall will also be strengthened. 113 guards will patrol the Great Wall during the 'Golden Week'. In addition, the authorities will keep a watchful eye on social media. Because, many people travel to the 'wild wall' by announcing through these.
Director Yu Hanquan says some parts of the Great Wall are very steep. Tourists can get lost in those areas. Anyone can fall from above. Without it, the authorities think that going to these parts could cause damage to this historic installation.The Great Wall of China spans several thousand kilometers. However, few areas are open to tourists. These areas have been reformed. The rest of the infrastructure is intact. However, China once announced that it was working on a project to reform the Great Wall.
Millions of Chinese tourists usually go abroad every year during the National Day holiday. But this time they are not able to go abroad due to travel ban due to coronavirus situation. China seems to have been able to control the spread of the coronavirus to a large extent. The country has also lifted most of the restrictions imposed on the Corona situation. As a result, China is hopeful that the domestic tourism industry will recover this time.
