Global Times: Diverse cultural activities on the Great Wall highlight symbol of unity and resilience

The cultural festivities celebrating the Great Wall commenced on May 13, showcasing a wide range of events across various sections of the historic structure in Beijing and its neighboring districts.
This festival and related initiatives arise from the necessity to reinterpret and safeguard the Great Wall's cultural essence in the context of modern technological advancements and changing societal values.
Local authorities and individuals have undertaken restoration, digitalization, and exhibition projects along the extensive length of the Great Wall, while new visitor offerings include night tours and the option to rent exoskeleton devices to assist with climbing.
Zhang Yu, director of the Capital Museum office, stated that the upcoming China Great Wall Museum plans to offer visitors an immersive experience to learn about the Wall’s history and cultural significance through thoughtfully designed exhibits, with its opening anticipated by late 2026 or early 2027.
These cultural initiatives and innovations support heritage protection, enhance visitor engagement, and have revitalized rural economies through a “culture-commerce-tourism-sports” model.
