The Great Wall of China, stretching over 13,000 miles, is a symbol of ancient ingenuity, built to protect against invasions. However, many sections are collapsing due to erosion, human activity, and landslides triggered by heavy rains, particularly in mountainous regions. These landslides have destabilized parts of the wall, causing severe damage, though no one was harmed in this video. Today, only about 30% of the wall remains intact, with preservation efforts struggling against natural forces
