Traffic vibration has a negative impact on adjacent ancient buildings, so it is very important to determine the vibration rule when evaluating the stability of ancient architecture. In this paper, we used a vibration detector to obtain vibration data induced by vehicles driving around the ancient Great Wall. By interpreting the vibration waveforms, we determined the influence of vibration intensity on the Great Wall and the relation between various factors and vibration intensity. To evaluate the waveform results, we used the national standard for the allowable vibration in ancient buildings, which provides technical guidelines for the protection of historically valuable sites. The results indicate that the vibration attenuation law is different under different road conditions, and that vibration strength decays rapidly under good road conditions. The speed and load of driving vehicles and road quality can affect the horizontal vibration strength of the Great Wall, that is, the higher the speed, the greater the load, the worse the road quality, and the greater the horizontal vibration strength of the Great Wall. Different positions along the Great Wall respond differently to vehicle driving vibration and the horizontal vibration strength at the foot of the Great Wall is greater than that at the top.
