MSN reported this park in title "Adult theme park gets China talking about sex", just as if the park is a victory and the taboo is not in China anymore.
Today, Chinese web portal says this Adult theme park has been taken down under the overwhelming pressure of the public.
The organizer, Meixin Group, apologizes for their action of building an disreputable sex park in Chongqing city.
Sex is not a topic for open discussion in China, where government figures show only 7 percent of women and slightly over 8 percent of men get immediate medical help for sexual problems. Earlier this year, the government launched a national sex education campaign aimed at getting more people to seek treatment for sexually transmitted diseases and infertility, to try and break some of the taboos. The newspaper said the park was inspired by a similar attraction on South Korea's Jeju island, also called Loveland. Getting the conversation going
China's Love Land appears to be helping to get the conversation going. Months before it opens, the park is already generating heated discussions among bloggers in cyberspace. "It's just too much," wrote blogger "Autumn Rain" on the popular Chinese portal baidu.com. "It's only about getting your heart to beat faster." "Overseas, this park would be considered artistic. But in Chongqing, it's just vulgar," wrote "Big Scandal." Other bloggers supported the idea. "I don't object. Young people need to start sex education young as China has a problem when it comes to this," wrote "Eaglefly." Park manager Lu said he was happy with all the debate. "It is quite normal to see so much discussion about it," he said. "I have found that the majority of people support my idea but I have to pay attention and not make the park look vulgar and nasty."
