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.

What will be the GDP after Covid-19 in India

When 60-year-old Milind Ketkar returned home after spending almost a month in hospital fighting Kovid-19, he felt the worst was over. People had to take him to his third floor flat because there was no elevator in his building. He spent the next few days experiencing constant shortness of breath and weakness. When he did not start to feel better, he was admitted to the PD Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. Lancelot approached Pinto, where he was treated. Mr. Ketkar, who thought he had recovered from the virus, was in shock. Dr Pinter Pinto called it an inflammation of the lungs due to Cofid-19, which gave him deep vein thrombosis, which occurs when blood clots form in the body, often in the legs. Fragments can break and move the body into the lungs, blocking blood vessels and this can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, Pin Pinto said. Mr. Ketkar spent the next month confined to his flat, taking pills for his condition...

Hppay Gandhi Jayanti

The image of Mahatma Gandhi is usually a serious-minded one, a great man and a strictly disciplined favorite politician, but there is also no answer to his wit and wit. Your laughter and sarcasm made great people change. He laughs openly and in the vicinity of Parliament he knows that he works with many of his dentists. Saroj's Naidu was called 'Mickey Mouse' out of love for Mahoma Gandhi. Gandhiji also reached here in your letters 'Dear Bulbul', 'Dear Mirabai' when he never even wrote 'Ammajan' and 'Madar' in jest.
