Offensichtlich möchte ein chinesischer Konzern eine zur chinesischen Mauer konkurrierende Touristenattraktion bauen: einen 13 Meilen langen Drachen, der sich über den Kamm des Bergs Shizu erstreckt und frei begehbar sein wird. Offensichtlich setzt den Chinesen ihr neuer Reichtum ganz schön zu …<\/p>\n
Hier der Originaltext:<\/p>\n
Chinese people have condemned a project to build a 13-mile long dragon along a mountain ridge outside a city.<\/p>\n
Developers say the project will rival the Great Wall of China and revive tourism to historic Xinzheng city, Henan province.<\/p>\n
But, in a survey of 50,000 people, 92% strongly opposed the project for "abusing the environment and wasting money".<\/p>\n
More than 800 metres of the dragon, made of steel and cement, have already been completed, reports Henan Business News.<\/p>\n
It snakes along the ridge of Shizu Mountain, which is believed to have been the residence of China’s first emperor.<\/p>\n
Li Xiong, president of the Zulong company behind the dragon, says it will cost more than £260 million and he hopes Chinese people all over the world will contribute.<\/p>\n
"The finished dragon is to wear 5.6 million scales of jade or gold-coated bronze. People can pay to carve words on the scales, and inside the body there will be trains and clubs. It will be a place for cultural activities and relaxation," he said.<\/p>\n
"I am not afraid of attacks. Our ancestors built the Great Wall, and now I am building the Great Dragon. I will succeed."<\/p>\n
