Beijing To Open New Section of Great Wall

A well-preserved section of the Great Wall in suburban Beijing near the well-known Badaling section will open to visitors on June 18.

The Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall is five kilometers from famous Badaling, which has received some 100 million visitors over the past two decades.

"We did little rebuilding on the Shixiaguan section, because we want visitors to see the real Great Wall ruin with its original look," said Zhang Liuquan, deputy director of the Beijing Badaling Special Zone.

The new section has a total land area of 2 sq. km.
