But there are only six or seven men patrolling in each locality to keep an eye on the Great Wall, he added.

But there is some good news, a regulation to protect the Great Wall has been sent to the State Council for review and has been included in its working plan for this year, according to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

But what should come first is to "conduct a thorough scientific investigation into the current Great Wall and find out about its situation," Dong and Wei stressed.

The Great Wall is the most well known landmark in China and one of the greatest feats of architectural engineering on the earth.

Emperor Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) unified ancient China in 221 BC and helped to establish the Great Wall.
