Statement at FSC main gate
Hidden dragon, crouching tourist?
People, fun and politics clash at a Communist-owned theme park in Florida.
Since the establishment of the Splendid China park in 1989 in Shenzhen, the special economic zone in South China's Guangdong Province, more than 1,500 theme parks have been built across the country, featuring art, ancient culture, plants, animals and more. Despite the varied themes, those parks have one thing in common - artificial scenery or the cloning of scenic spots.
Most theme parks are low-quality and repeat the same theme. It is estimated that there are more than 70 parks related to the Chinese literary masterpiece "A Dream of Red Mansions" and about 500 associated with the novel "Journey to the West." Some parks even lack good taste.
Attention should be paid to the impractical construction of theme parks regardless of current conditions. Of all China's theme parks, only 10 per cent make a profit. But the construction of many more theme parks is still being planned.
Splendid China takes on role as cultural center
Nearly 10 years ago, Splendid China opened amid boasts about its $100 million addition to Central Florida's tourism lineup -- and complaints from a group of anti-Chinese-government protesters.
