A 38-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman were arrested accused of causing “significant damage” against in the 32nd zone great wall of china. According to the Youyu county police, the defendants dug a “great gap” enlarging an existing cavity in a huge Asian fortification so that his bulldozer could go through it. The first hypothesis of the police is that they wanted to reduce the distance they had to travel to get to work.
On August 24, the Youyu County Police received a report that there was a huge hole in the wall. The security forces immediately went to the place, where they verified “irreversible damage to the integrity of the Great Ming Wall and to the security of cultural relics”.
How is the only hotel on the Great Wall of China
The Great Wall, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco since 1987, was built and rebuilt continuously from about 220 BC to the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, when it was the largest military structure in the world.
The damaged sector integrates one of the parts which were better preserved since they were built during the Ming dynasty, between the 14th and 17th centuries.

Oblivion as heritage
While the best-known parts of the Great Wall consist of beautifully built structures dotted with ancient watchtowers, other parts of the structure if the han is completely gone.
In 2016, the Beijing Times newspaper published a report suggesting that more than 30% of the Ming Great Wall has completely disappeared, and only 8% was considered well preserved.
To understand why someone might be so nonchalant about the destruction of a section of this world-famous historic structure, it’s important to consider what it is.
The beautiful Chinese Wall was not so effective
The Great Wall is a series of battlements that stretches across vast sections of northern China and is in many different states of disrepair. Sometimes he goes to places where there are villages or towns, but often he goes to remote areas of several provinces.
The oldest parts, dating back thousands of years, were rammed earth walls and now appear as mounds, which they are not even recognizable as the Great Walla.
Much of the wall’s degradation was blamed on local farmers stealing bricks or stones to build houses or pens for animals.
