Zhang Wenping, vice president of the Inner Mongolia Museum, introduced that Inner Mongolia has formed a unique historical and cultural belt of the Great Wall, and has rich resources for the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park.

In January 2022, Inner Mongolia issued the "Great Wall National Cultural Park (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) Construction and Protection Plan". At present, the protection scope and construction control zones of the Great Wall have been demarcated in all key areas, and the Great Wall itself and the environment have been strictly protected and controlled. The construction of theme exhibition areas, cultural and tourism integration areas, and traditional utilization areas is being actively promoted.

Qiu Jian, deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, said that in recent years, in order to maintain the strength of the Great Wall cultural relics, the state has invested nearly 520 million yuan to support Gansu to organize and implement more than 90 Great Wall protection and maintenance projects.

Tian Shenglong said, "Today, there are 127 Great Wall volunteers like me in the province. With the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park, more and more people will be involved in protecting the Great Wall. ”
