China.org.cn reported on May 11 that an ambitious three years preservation project for the Great Wall has been launched by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
A survey of Ming dynasty (1368-1662 AD) Great Wall is in full swing, and repair has started for Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) Great Wall.[...] The major work this year is to finish repairs on the Qin-era sections of the Wall and investigate what needs to be done on the Han Dynasty sections.
About 5 million yuan has already been invested, and a total of 100 million yuan is believed to be necessary to complete the work.
The Great Wall, mainly located in the central and western parts of the region, features architecture from several eras, ranging from the Warring States Period (403-221 BC) to the Ming Dynasty. Some sections, built in the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) and the Ming Dynasty, are listed as national cultural relics.
