A long stretch of the Great Wall was covered in a smooth concrete-like substance on Tuesday. Located in Liaoning Province, the wild section of wall is known for its natural beauty and has long been a popular spot for photographers.
Images of the newly-covered section of wall are now circulating on social media, sparking outrage.
According to officials, the material was applied to the wall in order to repair and protect the historic structure, Sina reports. The repairs were approved by the local Culture Relics Bureau.
