Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with relevant departments, investigated the giant statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province and the Shuisi Building in dushan county City, Guizhou Province, which were strongly reflected by the media and the masses. In order to effectively strengthen the management of sculpture construction in large cities and resolutely control the phenomenon of "cultural landmarks" such as the indiscriminate construction of giant statues, the giant statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province and the Shuisilou Project in dushan county City, Guizhou Province are now notified.

The Shuisi Building, built in Jingxin Valley Scenic Area of Yingshan Town in dushan county, Guizhou Province, has a height of 99.9 meters and an investment of 256 million yuan. There are some problems such as being divorced from reality, building "cultural landmarks" indiscriminately and destroying the natural landscape.
Hubei, Guizhou Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development should cooperate with relevant departments to track and guide Jingzhou City and dushan county to do a good job in the rectification of the giant statue of Guan Yu and the water department building project; It is necessary to draw inferences from others, strengthen supervision, improve the system, intervene and correct problems in time when they are found, and resolutely put an end to the indiscriminate construction of image projects and performance projects such as "cultural landmarks".
