Great Wall vandal first on blacklist
Print Edition
A visitor detained for scratching on Beijing鈥檚 Badaling section of the Great Wall on Tuesday became the first to be blacklisted under a new provision banning 鈥渦ncivilized visitors鈥 from revisiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The man surnamed Li was caught by staff while he was scratching on the wall. He was detained for five days and fined 200 yuan (US$28).
The management of the Badaling section of the Great Wall adopted a new rule on Monday to blacklist 鈥渦ncivilized visitors鈥 engaging in seven misbehaviors. Carving on the walls is listed as the top indiscretion. Violators are restricted from buying future tickets to visit the scenic site.
Starting from the main entrance of the Great Wall section, many bricks are scratched by a variety of tools from knives, keys and pointed stones to hairpins. Vandalism has long been a headache for Great Wall protectionists.
鈥淪ome scratchings cause irreversible damage to the bricks,鈥 said Li Dong, spokesman of the Badaling scenic administration office in Yanqing District of Beijing.
