It is more than 2500 years old and is one of the most recognizable man-made structures on the planet, but the Great Wall of China is quietly, and quickly, disappearing, one stone at a time.
Built in ancient times to keep invading Mongols out, the Great Wall is a historical treasure for China. Stretching for thousands of kilometers across northern China, the World Heritage site is a marvel that attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year.
But the massive length of the wall is also its greatest weakness. In rural areas, the wall continues to disappear with alarming regularity due to erosion and vandalism. Aside from tourist spots near major cities such as Beijing, most of the wall is in poor condition and research indicates that 74 percent of it is poorly protected.
In addition, the weather itself is largely to blame for the problem, according to local resident A Mao, who did not want to give his family name. "It starts weathering once the weather gets drier. If the weather is rainy or windy, it weathers as well. There are cavities(洞). They needed to be fixed," he said.
According to the Beijing municipal government, Beijing, Hebei, and Tianjin have reached an agreement on repairing and protecting the Great Wall in rural areas.

Experts from across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong praised the role that Chinese compatriots(同胞) in Taiwan played in the fight against Japanese invaders during the island's half-century as a Japanese colony, during a seminar commemorating the 70th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) and the recovery of Taiwan.
Some 130 officials and scholars from Canada, Japan, South Korea and China－including the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong－attended the seminar, which opened in Guangzhou on Sunday.
Zhang Haipeng, head of the Association of Chinese Historians, said that Taiwan compatriots never stopped fighting.
Wang Hsiaopo, a professor at Taiwan's Shih Hsin University, said Taiwan people never gave up, even though the island was governed by Japan for five decades. "Taiwan residents carried out many battles of resistance against Japanese invaders," Wang said.
The First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) was fought between the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and Japan. The Qing government was defeated and signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki(马关条约), or Maguan Treaty, under which Taiwan was ceded to Japan.
The island was recovered 70 years ago, after the defeat of Japan in World War II.
