BEIJING, May 19 (UPI) -- China's first sex amusement park -- with statues of giant genitals -- has been bulldozed before even opening its doors, authorities in Chongquing said.
Love Land, due to open in October, was demolished last weekend after Chinese authorities discovered the park planned a photo gallery on the history of sex, naked human sculptures and giant replicas of genitals, CNN reported Tuesday.
The park on the banks of the Yangtze River was "vulgar, ill-minded and misleading," Chinese officials said in ordering its destruction.
Park manager Lu Xiaoquing told China Daily he modeled Love Land after a sex park in South Korea that featured sex-technique workshops to help adults "enjoy a harmonious sex life," Lu said.
"Sex is a taboo subject in China, but people really need to have more access to information about it," Lu said, noting his park was "for the good of the public."
