THE MOON RISES BEHIND A GUARD TOWER ON THE JIN SHAN SECTION OF THE GREAT WALL
The moon rises behind an unrestored guard tower on the Jin Shan section of
the Great Wall on the outskirts of Beijing, August 12, 2003. Chinas first
regulation to protect the Great Wall came into effect on August 1, banning
tourists from exploring undeveloped sections of it. The ancient wall, which
was first built in the Qin dynasty (221-206 bc) and rebuilt in the Ming
dynasty (1368-1644), has come under threat from the large number of tourists
and hikers who visit it each year. Violators face fines of between 200 Yuan
($24) and 30, 000 Yuan ($3, 600). NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE REUTERS/Guang Niu

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the moon gracefully ascends behind an unrestored guard tower on the Jin Shan section of the Great Wall. Taken on August 12,2003, on the outskirts of Beijing, this image symbolizes both ancient history and modern preservation efforts. China's first regulation to safeguard the Great Wall took effect just days before this photograph was captured. The new rule prohibited tourists from exploring undeveloped sections of this iconic landmark. Over time, the wall had faced threats due to its popularity among a large number of visitors and hikers each year. The significance of this image lies in its portrayal of tranquility amidst historical grandeur. The imposing structure stands tall against a backdrop illuminated by a radiant moonrise. Its weathered stones bear witness to centuries gone by while reminding us that even timeless wonders require protection. As violators face fines ranging from 200 Yuan ($24) to 30,000 Yuan ($3,600), it becomes evident that preserving cultural heritage is paramount for future generations. This picture serves as a reminder that responsible tourism can coexist with conservation efforts. Through Guang Niu's lens, we are transported into an ethereal moment where nature and history converge harmoniously—a testament to mankind's ability to appreciate and protect our shared past for years to come.
