The Shui Si Building was criticized as a political achievement project, with more than 200 million in fraud. What is the significance of such a building?

I sum up a building like the Shui Si Building as a large-scale landscape building that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Although these types of buildings are suspected of being political achievements, their existence is necessary to promote local economic and cultural development.

1. It can build a reputation, attract the world’s attention, increase popularity and increase tourism volume. Assuming that the Shuisi Tower is successful in applying for the Guinness World Records, the traffic it will bring is huge. In addition, the Shuisi Tower is grand in scale, splendid and luxurious, has national cultural characteristics, and the beautiful local scenery is likely to become an Internet celebrity tourist attraction. Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and spiritual consumption has developed very well relying on the Internet. A small amount of popularity can make a merchant make a lot of money, not to mention that it is a big project with its own hot spots and easy to build momentum.

2. It can stimulate tourism, attract investment, and promote the development of other industries. Its economic benefits also radiate to surrounding areas. Tourism belongs to the service industry. Take Shuisi Tower as an example. If Shuisi Tower successfully attracts tourists and becomes a tourist hotspot, and transactions in the scenic area increase, the situation of restaurants, farmhouses, and hotels will improve, and the economic income of local residents will increase. . Where there is a market, there is capital, and investors will invest in scenic spots in various ways, which may make the structure of the scenic spots optimized and the economic ecology more prosperous. Tourists come from all over the world, and they will definitely pass through other surrounding villages and towns when entering. The surrounding areas can also seize opportunities to attract tourists, and according to the rules of discovery, when the central area prospers, its industries will spread outward.

3. It can carry forward national culture and show local customs. Large-scale buildings with ethnic characteristics can allow tourists to experience local culture more intuitively. For example, in Dushan County, tourists can use architecture as a starting point and extend it into all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and gain a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the culture of the Buyi and Miao ethnic groups.

4. From some perspectives, buildings like the Shui Si Building also bring certain job opportunities and income to the local area. The construction process of large-scale projects is long, consumes a lot of materials, and requires a large amount of labor. The local cement and steel bar industry will receive huge orders, which will facilitate its development. The local unemployed and surplus labor force can participate in the construction and receive work income.
