A Popular Henan Tourist Attraction Once Boomed But Now Lies in Ruins – What’s the Reason?
At the beginning of the article, the editor wants to ask everyone a question: what region does the 'Central Plains' mainly refer to, which is often said by ancient Chinese people? Perhaps not many people know this. The 'Central Plains' actually refers to our Henan! There are countless stories that happened here, and there are many famous old cities here that attract many people's attention! The most impressive one is probably Shaolin Temple. But today, the editor is not introducing Shaolin Temple, but a scenic spot that was brought into the spotlight by a TV series. It was once prosperous, but now it is desolate. What is the reason for this? Let's take a look together.
This once hugely popular 'internet celebrity attraction' is located in Zhengzhou, Central Plains Movie City. There, there are many ancient-style buildings, even with a hint of the Republic of China style. If you look closely, there are also some modern buildings, which feels unprofessional. The reason for this is mainly due to insufficient funding from the investor. It is said that the construction of this movie city only cost 30 million. For a movie city, this is really a rare gem, let alone mentioning it. Unlike Longqian's 'Big Boss', which cost 3 billion to build. Comparing these two numbers is not comparable, right? It's no wonder that now there are very few people visiting, presenting a desolate scene. Let alone being favored by TV dramas.
In fact, this place was very popular in the past, just because of a TV series, that is 'River Female'. Perhaps the younger generation doesn't know how popular this drama was in those days, but older people definitely know how good it was! After the drama became popular, it attracted countless tourists to visit here, and it became a hot 'internet celebrity attraction' at the time. After the fame, many drama crews also took advantage of the heat to shoot here, such as 'Master Without Heart.'
Why do we have the phrase 'beautiful moments' like this? Perhaps these five words are most appropriate for this movie city. Gradually, it faded from people's sight. Now, not many tourists come to visit a day. Perhaps it's because of insufficient funding, and the management here has become more relaxed. Many buildings that needed to be repaired and maintained are now dilapidated and unsightly, which is unbearable to look at. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as 'desolate.'
Looking back now, this once hugely popular movie city has completely fallen into disrepair. After all, to build a city for a TV series at a cost of 30 million, is it really worth it? What do you think, screen viewers? Please discuss in the comments.
