It seems another section of Badaling is being restored to its former glory:

Cultural heritage authorities have commissioned a team of seven mules to transport bricks and lime to rebuild the Badaling section of the Great Wall, northwest of Beijing.

Chen Zhimin, a farmer of Yezhao village in Chengde city, north Hebei Province, told Xinhua Tuesday that his mule team would carry420 tonnes of materials in the next 60 days to rebuild a 10-kilometer section of the 600-year-old Great Wall.

News from People's Daily Online.

The SACH ordered complete restoration to its original appearance.

I guess they're heading west from 40°20'47.43"N 116°0'16.83"E towards Beijing Wildlife Park, possibly to reduce the load on the eastern side of Badaling.
