In his response to a recent letter from residents living in Shixia village, Badaling township in Beijing,
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for efforts to get more people to learn about the Great Wall and engage more people in its protection in order to pass on this precious heritage to future generations.
The Great Wall is the largest cultural heritage site in China. President Xi has paid great attention to efforts to tap into its cultural value and the inheritance and protection of cultural relics along the Great Wall, issuing multiple instructions on advancing the building of a Great Wall national cultural park.
The Global Times went to Shixia village and talked to experts to learn how local residents have protected the Great Wall and the significance of carrying forward the Great Wall culture.
