SHIJIAZHUANG, May. 9 (Xinhua) -- Repair work on a section of the Great Wall in Lulong County of north China's Hebei Province is underway.
The Yongpingfu section of the Great Wall, located in Lulong County of Qinhuangdao City, dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The current restoration work mainly focuses on the west gate and barbican of the building.
The Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage site, consisting of many interconnected walls. Known as the largest and greatest fortification system in China's history, the Great Wall was built across the country during different dynasties to protect its territories and resist invasion from various nomadic groups.
