Among them, the Great Wall Salon parallel forum was held at the spectacular Diecui Palace at Juyong Pass, leveraging the authentic setting to enrich the dialogue on Great Wall culture and create an immersive exchange platform. Breaking away from the traditional academic seminar model, the forum brought together a diverse group of participants, including research think tanks on Great Wall conservation from across the country, heads of Great Wall scenic area management, grassroots cultural heritage volunteers, and university researchers. This multi-stakeholder approach established a dialogue framework of "expert think tanks + frontline practitioners + grassroots guardians." The discussions addressed both high-level strategic planning and on-the-ground implementation. Professional assessments were conducted on major topics such as climate-adaptive protection of the Great Wall and the development of a national Great Wall monitoring system. Meanwhile, roundtable exchanges engaged Great Wall management units from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and other areas, listening to stories from grassroots guardians who have dedicated themselves to protecting the Wall. The forum successfully brought together diverse strengths and grassroots wisdom to support the high-quality construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park.
