Lushan county is the poorest county in Pingdingshan. Why can it have two 5A scenic spots and a world-class Buddha?

Because Lushan county is a demonstration area of eco-tourism, although the local economy is not developing well, the tourism industry is developing very rapidly, especially there is a world-class power in the local area. At that time, it took 12 years to design and build this giant Buddha in this place, and it cost a lot of money. It is said that it cost1200 million. At that time, when the Buddha statue was made, the whole body was made of copper. The weight is 3300 tons, and the gold in it alone is 108 kg, and the special steel 1500 tons. It is conceivable that this giant Buddha is not easy to see.

Some people say that for Lushan County, its own economy is not particularly developed, but it has spent a lot of money to build a giant Buddha, leaving the local government with no extra money to develop its economy, resulting in Lushan County still being a poor county. By then, after the Buddha statue is completed, many Buddhist believers and tourists will come here to pay homage. At first, the ticket here was only 60 yuan, and then the ticket price kept rising. Finally, it rose to 120 yuan, so many tourists thought it was unnecessary to spend so much money just to see a Buddha statue, so the number of tourists here gradually decreased.

In fact, Lushan County has a very long history, dating back to the Xia Dynasty. At that time, it was called Lu Xian County, but in the Tang Dynasty it was changed to Lushan County. Although this county has a long history, its economic development is very backward, and it is also a relatively poor county in Henan Province. It stands to reason that there are two scenic spots and a world-class Buddha in this place, which should not develop so slowly, but the fact is just the opposite. Although there are good scenic spots here, but

In this case, the local government should deeply reflect on why the tourism industry has developed so well, but it has not driven the local economy, and should find out the reasons for the slow economic development.
