A small part of the Great Wall has been severely damaged by construction workers who were looking to make a shortcut through the monument.
Two people have been arrested for using machinery to create a gap through a portion of the Great Wall near Youyu in central Shanxi province, according to state-owned newspaper China Daily.
Local police charged the pair with destroying a cultural relic after receiving a report of the damage on August 24. They managed to locate the suspects by following a trail from the damaged wall leading to neighboring Horinger County.
