A poor county in Guizhou spent huge sums of money to build a sculpture. Why did they build this sculpture?

Promote economic development and carry forward national culture

The legend of Yang Asha has been passed down from generation to generation in Jianhe, Qingshui River, Guizhou Province, my country. Since October 2007, Jianhe has held a Yang'asha Cultural Festival every year. However, this cultural festival has become Jianhe's mission to promote Jianhe's simple customs and carry forward the Miao culture, as well as shape the image and promote culture throughout the country. Tourism has made outstanding contributions.

The 88-meter sculpture of Yang Asha, the Miao goddess, is the world’s largest sculpture and has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The sculpture of Miao goddess Yang Asha is located in Jianhe County, Guizhou Province. Construction of the sculpture started on November 20, 2016 and was completed in July 2017. The height of the entire statue is about 88 meters, and the height of the figure is about 66 meters. The seat height is nearly 22 meters. A total of nearly 86 million yuan was spent.

This sculpture of the Miao goddess Yang Asha was built to develop the local tourism industry and further get rid of the poverty-stricken county. A lot of money was spent to build the sculpture of the Miao goddess Yang Asha to promote Yang Asha Hot Spring. , and the development of the Yang Asha theme park, which is still under construction, relies on sculptures of the goddess to attract tourists.

In recent years, Jianhe County has been working hard to develop its economy and invested a lot of manpower and funds to promote the development of new tourism industries and new ecology. The construction of the Yang Asha sculpture is integrated with the hot spring tourist town, and the overall planning has formed a county-level tourism complex with the Miao culture represented by Yang Asha as its heritage. It has achieved an increase in income, assisted in the fight against poverty, and strengthened the county and enriched the people. Three major goals. Jianhe County's idea of ??tourism promoting poverty alleviation has been highly recognized by the superior departments of Guizhou Province, praising it for its great contribution to carrying forward cultural spirit, solving the problem of talent demand, promoting economic development, and alleviating poverty and becoming rich.

I believe that the construction of the Yang Asha sculpture is mainly to promote the development of local tourism, solve the employment problem of the local population, and complete the poverty alleviation tasks assigned to them by the country.
