It has developed a well-known B&B and rich and colorful Great Wall culture and intangible cultural heritage. It has gained popularity and prospered its industry.

The Great Wall is a representative symbol of the Chinese nation and an important symbol of Chinese civilization. It embodies the Chinese nation's spirit of continuous struggle for self-improvement and its patriotic sentiments of unity and perseverance. On the new journey, we must fully realize the important role of the protection of the Great Wall in displaying the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation, highlighting the spirit of the times, and gathering the power of China, and give full play to the role of the Great Wall in promoting the development of the local cultural tourism industry and promoting the people to increase their income and become rich.

We must insist on putting protection first, be responsible for history and the people, adhere to the principle of minimal intervention, effectively improve policies and measures, increase work intensity, and strictly protect in accordance with the law. It is necessary to further implement the rigid requirements for the protection responsibility of the Great Wall and establish and improve the accountability mechanism for illegal cases and safety accidents on the Great Wall. We should pay attention to rational utilization so that the results of Great Wall protection can benefit more people. It is necessary to carry forward the culture of the Great Wall, tell the story of the Great Wall well, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

The Great Wall is widely distributed in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in my country, and its construction lasted for more than 2,000 years. The Great Wall's cultural relics and cultural resources are generally large-scale and widely distributed. All places along the route should adapt to local conditions, systematically sort out the age, type, distribution characteristics, construction methods, etc. of the region's Great Wall resources, work together to manage them together, protect the land and fulfill their responsibilities, so as to form a joint effort to protect the Great Wall.

It is our common responsibility to protect and inherit the historical and cultural heritage of the Great Wall. All regions and departments must thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions and important instructions on strengthening the protection and inheritance of historical and cultural heritage. Guided by Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts, we must strengthen cultural confidence, shoulder new cultural missions, and carefully protect the Great Wall brick by brick. Discover and interpret the history and culture of the Great Wall, inherit the spirit of the Great Wall from generation to generation, and gather strong fighting force to build a socialist cultural power and promote Chinese-style modernization.
