Xi'an City Wall showcases digital innovation in cultural heritage preservation

Backed by more than 24 terabytes of high-precision data, the platform has built a comprehensive database covering the city wall itself, major heritage structures, gates and access routes. Supported by AI-powered analysis and a four-tier early-warning system, it enables real-time risk monitoring, intelligent assessment and preventive conservation, shifting heritage protection from reactive repairs to proactive preservation.

Xi'an City Wall has also established a full-chain digital management system covering data collection, governance, intellectual property registration and application. To date, it has secured 72 data intellectual property certificates, providing legal protection for digital heritage assets while supporting wider applications in conservation, cultural innovation and international exchanges.
