More than 37 miles of the wall in Minqin County is being rapidly eroded by sandstorms and may be completely destroyed in the next 20 years! These areas are more vulnerable to erosion because they are made of mud, unlike the majority of the Great Wall which is composed of brick or stone.
About 25 miles of the wall has already disappeared over the past two decades, and the wall has been shortened by up to 8 feet in many places!
