China's Great Wall repaired with simple tools, bricks of old


A man walks behind a mule carrying bricks up the steep path towards the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, located in Huairou District, north of Beijing, China, Jun 7, 2017. Where they could, workers used the original bricks that had broken off the wall over the centuries. Cheng, 61, who has repaired 17 km (11 miles) of the Great Wall since 2003, belongs to the 16th generation in a long line of traditional brick makers. People work on the reconstruction of the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, located in Huairou District, north of Beijing, China, Jun 7, 2017. Just a tenth of the wall built during the Ming dynasty has been repaired, said Dong Yaohui, vice president of the China Great Wall Association.
