China: Graffiti on the Great Wall

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | February 14th, 2006 | Trackback

The Great Wall of China sees some four million visitors a year and too many of them leave graffiti behind, usually their own names or expressions of love. Managers of the Juyongguan section have devised a novel plan to fight the problem: they have built a bogus wall of marble bricks near the most visited section of the wall in Badaling and are offering it up for carving at a cost of $120 per brick. The scheme is designed to discourage defacing the real wall and to raise funds for wall management.
