Why not move the Qinglong stone in Wanzhou?

Wanzhou Qinglong Stone is not demolished mainly because of a little-known folklore. According to legend, this stone is located at the entrance of Wuxia, one of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. If it is demolished, it may affect the flood in the Yangtze River, so it cannot be demolished.

Although this is only a folklore, the reason why Wanzhou Qinglong Stone is not demolished is related to the cultural protection awareness of the local government and citizens. In order to protect this unique cultural landscape, the government and citizens decided to keep it and use it as a local cultural attraction for tourists to enjoy and understand.

In reality, Wanzhou Qinglong Stone has become a local landmark, attracting a large number of tourists every year. Although its existence does not hinder the local actual situation, if it is to be demolished, it will cause irreparable losses to the local cultural heritage. Therefore, the government and citizens decided to keep it as a part of Wanzhou city culture.

To sum up, the reason why Wanzhou Qinglong Stone is not demolished is not only related to the local awareness of cultural protection, but also related to a folklore. Although there are no obstacles in practice, it has become the local knowledge of cultural protection and cultural inheritance.
