The "Guarding the Great Wall and Empowering Patrol Frontline" Great Wall Protector Equipment Package Distribution Ceremony (Ningxia Station) was held in Yinchuan on the 7th, officially launching the distribution of standardized patrol equipment packages for Great Wall Protectors across the country.
Wang Chuan, deputy mayor of Yinchuan City, said that the Yinchuan government has always adhered to the main line of protecting the Great Wall and strengthened long-term management and team building. By integrating public welfare forces, we will optimize the working conditions of frontline conservators, effectively improve emergency response and inspection capabilities, and contribute solid strength to the protection of the Great Wall.

Zhang Yujin, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Ningxia Department of Culture and Tourism, said that Ningxia has regarded the protection of the Great Wall as an important political task, included it in government assessments, listed protection funds, promulgated Great Wall protection regulations, and strengthened the team of conservators. The next step will be to improve the selection, training, assessment, and guarantee systems, protect the cultural context of the Great Wall, and contribute to Ningxia’s strength.
The equipment packages for the Great Wall conservators were shipped nationwide at the same time on site and were delivered directly to the conservators via express delivery. The equipment package distributed this time includes a full set of field operation materials such as professional jackets, reflective patrol vests, mountaineering protective gear, and first aid kits.

The "National Great Wall Conservator Equipment Kit" project was initiated by the China Cultural Relics Conservation Foundation under the guidance of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and supported by donations from Tencent SSV Digital Culture Laboratory and Tencent Charity Foundation. The project distributes patrol equipment kits to a total of 7,481 Great Wall conservators in 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country. The equipment kits are accurately adapted to the actual working conditions of the Great Wall's wild patrol areas with a large geographical span and complex operating environments. It complements the shortcomings of grassroots patrol hardware, effectively guarantees the personal safety of conservators in field operations, and builds a socialized collaborative protection model of "government guidance, implementation by professional institutions, and participation of social forces."
