- By the 20th century, the Ming wall was simply known as the ‘old frontier’ (lǎobiān). For instance, when Frederick Clapp of the Geographical Review reached the Ming wall at Shenmu, Shaanxi, in 1920, he wrote in his article of the trip that 'the natives said: “This is not the ‘Great Wall’; this is the ‘First Frontier Wall’, built only 400 years ago; the ‘Great Wall’ is further north.”'

- Shenmu, and nearby cities like Ordos and Fugu, are at the leading edge of broader troubles that are beginning to afflict the entire Chinese economy. Across China, growth has slowed. With the slowdown have come rising defaults on loans made outside the conventional banking system, chronic overcapacity in many industries like coal mining and steel production and, in particularly troubled cities like Shenmu, a sharp decline in previously debt-fueled prices for real estate and other assets.
