With support from American Express, WMF helped the city of Yuci in its conservation of Xuanjian Tower. Murals were cleaned, roofs were retiled and rotten rafters, floors, and other wooden supports were repaired. The exterior surfaces were repaired; windows, doors, and balustrades were either repaired or replaced. A new drainage system was created to assure long term protection of the structure. Most work was completed in 2002. Because of the successful conservation of the Xuanjian Tower, many additional conservation projects were implemented in the historic district of Yuci City including several residential courtyards which date from the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries.
