China Intends To Enhance Great Wall Vistor Experience By Crackdown On Cheap Souvenir Vendors

Both tourists as well as the government of China has finally had enough of cheap souvenir vendors who are crowding along a popular portion of the Great Wall and even causing some damage to this great "wonder" of the world. Soon these vendors will be restricted to a market area far enough away from the wall to stop the circuslike atomsphere that these enterprising marketers have created, which many tourists feel has ruined their visit to this great landmark in mainland China.

As China becomes a popular tourist area with a growing number of massive beautiful hotels and other attractions, both for business and also tourism, there are attempts to clean up problems before the coming Olympics to cast a good image to the world.

Those that have ruined the awesomeness of the Great Wall are only part of the many problems that China hopes to improve as the Olympics draw closer.
