The Great Wall

Listed as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987, the Great Wall belongs not only to China but also to the whole world. Unlike other Natural and Cultural Heritage Sites, the Great Wall embraces such broad dimensions that nothing else can compare with. It runs across Northern China from east to west, providing protection to agricultural civilisation and ancient trading routes. It spans the history of China from past to present, witnessing the rise and fall of powers and dynasties. Many parts of the Great Wall are gone, a lot are succumbing to the elements. Some have been buried by the desert, some destroyed by people. Still, the Wall stands silently, enduring the passage of time and greeting the changes of seasons. If the Wall could talk, it would have many stories to tell. If you listen long enough, maybe you will hear one.

Status as a World Heritage Site I hope will afford the Great Wall protection and ensure sustainable tourism. This is a great link to the UNESCO site: http://whc.unesco.org/
