BEIJING – Environmental officials in central China may stop the construction of a 21-kilometer (13-mile) -long dragon planned as a tourist attraction because of the environmental impact, state media reported Wednesday.
The dragon is to snake its way along the top of a ridge of Shizhu Mountain, which was designated a national forest park in 2005, and environmentalists fear the 300 million yuan project could damage the local ecological system, Xinhua News Agency said.
