No more partying at Great Wall

Forget about hosting that next bash at the Great Wall of China.

As of now, there is a ban on partying and all-night raves at sections of the Great Wall, presumably near Beijing, and the penalties are heavy.

The State Council, or China's Cabinet, announced fines of up to $62,500 for violators. That's pretty stiff.

The Great Wall is about 4,000 miles long and gets 10 million visitors a year. It's also been listed as a U.N. World Heritage Site since 1987.

Great Wall sites like Badaling near Beijing are irresistible places to have a party. Last year, state media complained of party-goers urinating at the Wall during all-night raves.
