World's Worst Restoration? China's Great Wall Covered In Cement
By Ben Westcott and Serenitie Wang, CNN
(CNN)It's the repair job that's so ugly you can probably see it from space.
A 700-year-old "wild" stretch of China's Great Wall has been covered in a smooth, white trail of cement under orders from Suizhong county's Cultural Relics Bureau,Sina reported on Wednesday.
The repairs were car- ried out in 2014, but they only came to public attention recently.
It was an effort to restore parts of the wall which have fallen into disrepair and are not open to the public, but the restora- tion has been met with condemnation by social media users and advo- cates.
The repair work took place near the border of
Liaoning and Hebei province and photos of the results were widely shared by Beijing News on Weibo this week.
CNN has reached out to the local Heritage Conservation Bureau for comment.
Chinese internet users
have slammed the repair job, with the Weibo hashtag "The most beautiful, wild Great Wall flattened" trending online.
"Glad Venus de Milo is not in China, or some- one would get her a new arm," one user said.
Great Wall of China Society deputy director Dong Yaohui said the restoration work had been done "very badly". "It damaged the original look of the Great Wall and took away the his- tory from the peo- ple."
Dong said it was important for the Chinese govern- ment as a whole to regulate and streamline Great Wall restoration efforts.
"Although the local
government was well intentioned and
wanted to restore the bricks of the Wall, the result turned out to be the opposite."
Since 2006, the Great Wall Protection Ordinance in China intro- duced strict rules for the development of tourist destinations.
