Tencent Charity Foundation

The Tencent Foundation is China’s first public welfare foundation established by an internet company. Its mission is to bring about social improvement by using technology for good, integrating the internet extensively into different areas of life, and creating lasting social value through philanthropy. With “The Great Wall E-tour”, the Tencent Foundation enables people to participate virtually in the conservation work taking place on the Great Wall of China. Digital technology is already widely used for the restoration and protection of cultural relics, but the resulting data is generally stored in archives or on servers and is not available to the public. By taking the e-tour, users can now enjoy a full-size and high-resolution experience of the cultural monument and discover how much effort is actually involved in its preservation.
