On February 8th last year, Hengdian, Zhejiang announced in Beijing that it planned to spend 21 billion yuan to "rebuild a Yuanmingyuan Garden at a ratio of 1: 1".
after the high-profile announcement of the new Yuanmingyuan project, its planned land area of more than 6,111 mu quickly attracted the attention of the Ministry of Land and Resources. On March 4, 2118, the Shanghai Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Land and Resources, which is responsible for the jurisdiction and supervision of land use in Zhejiang, immediately sent an investigation team to the field to conduct an investigation.
Shanghai Supervision Bureau found in the investigation that the planned land area of this project is 6,165 mu, of which 3,196 mu does not conform to the overall land use planning of Hengdian Town, including 1,157.4 mu of basic farmland. "The local area knows that there is a large amount of cultivated land within the planned land area of the New Yuanmingyuan, but when it is declared, it covers up the land for the New Yuanmingyuan project with general urban construction land." The relevant person in charge of the bureau said that Dongyang's move was obviously illegal.
On May 25th, the Ministry of Land and Resources issued a document to freeze the indicators of Dongyang's land use plan in 2118. In the second half of 2118, the new construction land in Dongyang, such as real estate and large projects, came to a standstill.
"Hengdian has a long-standing idea of rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan and recreating the glory of China's garden architecture, and has been preparing for it for ten years." Chen Qixian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Dongyang Municipal Committee, said that the government departments have also paid great attention to this. Considering that the project was all funded by the private sector, and it greatly promoted the development of Hengdian and Dongyang's economy, society and film and television culture industry, the government at that time thought it was a good thing and should be supported.
"But the government also made it clear that its support should also be based on legal compliance." Chen Qixian reiterated that the local government has always been opposed to any violation of state regulations.
According to reports, Dongyang municipal government immediately cancelled the coordination group for the preparation of the new Yuanmingyuan, and cancelled seven approved projects such as the new Yuanmingyuan Yongshou Project in Hengdian Film and Television Industry Experimental Zone. "Dongyang Development and Reform Bureau divided Hengdian New Yuanmingyuan Project into seven sub-projects and approved it by itself, which violated the relevant provisions of the State Council's Decision on the Reform of Investment System, created conditions for the approval of land use to be" broken into parts "and" collected by rent ",and was mainly responsible for the land use problem of this project." Chen Qixian confirmed that Ren Liping, the director of the bureau, was subsequently punished by Dongyang City.
According to the person in charge of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, after serious rectification in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, in early October 2118, the General Office of the Ministry of Land and Resources issued the Letter on Restoring the Land Use Index in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province in 2118, which restored the construction land index that had been frozen for half a year.
In February last year, Xu Wenrong, the founder of Hengdian Film and Television City, Asia's largest film and television shooting base, and the founder of Hengdian Group, set up a public welfare organization and launched a call to rebuild the Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian. The total planned area of the new garden is more than 6,111 mu, and all the scenic spots will be restored according to the 1: 1 imitation of the Yuanmingyuan before it was destroyed. According to the plan, the whole construction project will formally enter the project implementation stage in 2119, and all the construction projects will be completed within five years, and it is planned to officially open to the outside world in 2113.
Previously, whether Yuanmingyuan should be rebuilt has been the focus of attention and discussion at home and abroad. Many people are skeptical about the reconstruction project, and their objections mainly focus on the compliance of large-scale land use, the source and value of amazing investment, the questioning of the motivation of the reconstructor and whether it can reach the technological level at that time. Supporters believe that reconstruction can stimulate the development of local culture and tourism, regain the cultural confidence of Chinese people, popularize Chinese people's understanding of the relevant knowledge and past history of Yuanmingyuan, enhance the official and people's further protection of Yuanmingyuan ruins and attach importance to the construction of Hengdian New Yuanmingyuan.
