Because of the mass numbers of visitors, noise pollution will be a problem and as tourists drive to get to the Mutianyu, there will also be air pollution produced by cars. Based on Figure 15,there is graffiti existed which makes the Great Wall ugly, but the manager of the Great Wall made a graffiti board, people are no longer drawing on the wall, they are drawing on the graffiti board, and this will not damage the wall itself. I think it is a positive environmental management. There is not much pollution there, you can see the sky is quite blue, this means the air quality is quite good. The reason why it was a sunny day and the AQI was very low is there came the wind from the North, it blew the pollution away. The AQI count is shown in Figure 13 which is 7 degree. It is

    Graffiti was once labeled as street art which was frequently a prominent problem in urban cities; defacing or “tagging” public and private property was against the law. As time as evolved, so has the street art culture. Today, street art is one of most sought after and creative outlets for local artists.

Street art is now very innovative featuring many different art styles and often makes a commentary on a social issue and if it does not, then it was created to help change the city.…

    Rock art can be viewed as part of everyone’s cultural heritage or as part of a specific groups’ cultural heritage. It is this difference of thought that can cause much debate on who should have access to and how to manage rock art sites. One way to ensure that the heritage is preserved regardless of what happens to the rock art itself is to record the stories that go along with the art. “Collecting and archiving [stories], with due respect for the traditional owners and in accordance with their wishes about what can or cannot be published, is as much a duty as preserving the art and its natural and archeological contexts” (Clottes, 2008:6). There is just some knowledge that is not meant to be learned or recorded.…
