China's 'Wild Great Wall'

 


As China's busiest holiday season approaches, Beijing has warned it will punish those who climb the "Wild Great Wall."


  The term is often used to describe parts of popular landmarks that are not restored and closed to tourists.


  The fine will be enforced more strictly in the Golden Week, which is expected to attract thousands of local tourists.


  China is doing holiday banking to boost its badly affected tourism industry.


  “This year’s National Day holiday lasts eight days and the number of visitors to explore the‘ Wild Great Wall ’is set to increase,” Yu Hanquan, director of the Yankee District Cultural Relax Administration, told the Global Times.

Beijing reminded people that those who do injustice to these parts of the Great Wall can be fined 200 to 30,000 yuan (£ 3,430; $ 4,404).


  It will also increase security, the Beijing Daily reported, adding that all 1,131 guards normally deployed on the Great Wall will be on duty during the Golden Week.


  Authorities are also actively taking action on social media to see if any "Wild Great Wall" campaigns are being planned.


  Mr Yu said some parts of the Great Wall were too steep - and it was possible for tourists to get lost or fall.  Officials also said the climb could damage the historic site.


  Parts of the Great Wall that are open to tourists are a small part of the famous landmark, which stretches for thousands of kilometers.

Other parts of the structure remain in their original condition, although China had earlier announced that a restoration project was underway.


  The remote and dangerous Great Wall of China

  Millions of Chinese are expected to travel to Golden Week - inflamed by pants-up demand after months of coronavirus bans.


  In particular, thousands of Chinese tourists travel abroad during the eight-day holiday period - but due to travel restrictions this year, domestic tourism is likely to increase.


  China seems to have largely stopped the spread of the virus, and most of the sanctions have been lifted.

Domino's pizza Update for you .

Domino's Pizza has dropped a promotion offering free pizza to a woman named Karen after receiving a response.   In recent years, the name "Karen" has been used as an insult to white middle-aged women who are considered abusive or racist.   The New Zealand arm of the pizza franchise initially said it wanted to take a break from the negativity of "nice carnations".   But some said he is tone-deaf, ignoring more important issues and "gaining privileges."   What was the offer?   The pizza chain's Australian, Australian and New Zealand pages were titled "King Ling All (Karens)".   It asked people named Karen to tell Domino’s in 250 words how they are one of the “nice people”.   "The name 'Karen' has become synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and chooses to complain," said Lon Collins, Domino's chief marketing officer in the field.   “It was a light-hearted souvenir, it really became an insu...

Google New details

Google's new plan released in UK, US and Spain   The tech giant says it is incorporating new technology into the cable, which they claim is a significant upgrade to the old existing line.   The project is completed by 2022.   Google estimates that underwater data cables are important for global communications, which contain about 98% of the world's information.   Cables are usually made by telecommunications companies - usually a group of them pulling sources - which are then charged to use other companies.  The latest cable, called "Grace Ha Ce Par", after the American computer scientist and Admiral behind the Navy, will hit the UK at Bude in Cornwall.  It is Google's fourth privately owned undersea cable  But Google needs "increasing amounts of transatlantic bandwidth," said John Delaney, a telecommus analyst at IDC.   “Creating its own cables helps them choose the best cable route,” he said, and is close to d...
