The majestic Great Wall stretches over northern China, like a giant dragon, galloping and falling in the mountains and deserts of thousands of miles. The resources of the Great Wall are mainly distributed in 15 provinces (autonomous regions and cities) such as Hebei, Beijing and Shanxi. In Shanxi, the Great Wall of the Dynasties recognized by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has a total of 4266 points and sections, with a total length of 1401.23 kilometers, and the number of points and sections ranks third in the country.

"In the process of inspecting the Great Wall, the phenomena that seriously damaged the Great Wall stung me." Yang Junfeng said that the main reasons for the tragic destruction of the Great Wall are mining damage, project damage, road construction caused by damage, peasants planting land caused damage, building houses and demolishing city bricks, and developing tourist tourists to climb the wall to destroy the ancient city. "Mining damage, in particular, has caused devastating damage to the Great Wall."

In 2015, Xinzhou City wrote the content of the Great Wall into the "Proposal of the Cpc Xinzhou Municipal Committee on Formulating the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development".
