The National Cultural Park is a national cultural project in China, a type of park proposed by China that differentiates it from other countries in the world and represents the cultural identity of the nation. The research and construction of the National Cultural Park is an important national project led by the government. Currently, the National Cultural Parks in China include the Great Wall National Cultural Park, the Long March National Cultural Park, the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, the Yellow River National Cultural Park, and the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. Among these five National Cultural Parks, the Great Wall National Cultural Park has the longest time span from concept to implementation, and its development is relatively mature. In recent years, academic achievements in this area have been particularly prominent. It is urgent to conduct targeted and systematic organization and summary of these achievements to provide reference and guidance for the construction and research of the Great Wall National Cultural Park and other National Cultural Parks. This study first introduces relevant concepts and theories, including the Great Wall and its culture, the concept and connotation of National Cultural Parks, and the Great Wall National Cultural Park. Then, using methods such as literature review, analysis, and inductive summarization, the study organizes relevant literature on the Great Wall National Cultural Park and categorizes it into four groups: “Theoretical Positioning and Cultural Connotation Research,” “Cultural and Tourism Integration Development Research,” “Practical Construction Research,” and “Management Mechanism and Other Research.” Among these, the “Practical Construction Research” is the key focus. This literature is further organized and analyzed, and subdivided into three aspects: “Multi-Angle Construction Research,” “Landscape Construction Research,” and “Digital Construction Research,” which are analyzed and summarized scientifically and discussed in detail, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for further research and construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park. Additionally, the study analyzes and summarizes the concepts and construction situations of European cultural routes and American heritage corridors, explaining the similarities and differences between them and the National Cultural Parks, and summarizing valuable experiences that can be referenced. Finally, the study concludes with four key points: the theoretical positioning of National Cultural Parks is clear, making them an inevitable choice for cultural heritage protection and display; the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park deepens the integration of culture and tourism; the research on the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park shows a multi-perspective, multi-disciplinary trend; research on the management, legislation, and economics of the Great Wall National Cultural Park needs to be further deepened. The study also provides prospects for future construction and development. Based on the characteristics of the Great Wall National Cultural Park, the study suggests creating regional cultural spaces, establishing a collaborative management model, and further promoting multi-disciplinary research and construction approaches. The research on the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park is a long-term, dynamic endeavor that requires timely organization, summarization of experiences, and guidance for future research directions, providing intellectual support for the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park and other National Cultural Parks.
