According to People’s Daily Online part of the Shanhaiguan Pass in the eastern part of Hebei will restored before the Olympic later this year.
Authentic scenes from the Ming and Qing Dynasties will be restored before the Olympic Games. A commercial street, built in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a main building modeled after a Si He Yuan (a quadrangular courtyard), will be a reproduction of Ming and Qing humanity and commercial civilization.
The route of the Olympic torch on August 2 of this year into Qinhuangdao has been officially confirmed. The torch will enter the city at Laolongtou – the eastern starting point of the Great Wall – and the torch will pass through Shanhai Pass district, the harbour district and then arrive at the Olympic Avenue Park located in Beidaihe district.

Qinhuangdao will host some of the preliminary football matches.
One can only hope that Shanhaiguan will be restored according to the original design avoiding some of the errors seen elsewhere.
