It is reported that Gushilong Scenic Spot in Handan County was sued by a lawyer because the ticket price rose from 15 yuan to 60 yuan, and the local price department intervened in the investigation, and then the original ticket price was restored. However, Handan Longxiang Tourism Development Co., Ltd., which built the scenic spot, recently submitted an application report for re-pricing to the price department, intending to set the ticket price as 200 yuan per person. On the morning of April 24th, Handan County Price Bureau was entrusted by Handan Municipal Price Bureau to hold a price hearing on the fare adjustment of Gushilong Scenic Area. More than 20 people attended the hearing, including representatives of people's congresses at the city and county levels, CPPCC members, lawyers, travel agencies, farmers, employees of enterprises and other people.
At the hearing, a person in charge of Longxiang Company stated the reasons for the price increase: the ancient stone dragon scenic spot not only has the cultural connotation of dragons, but also has the scientific research value of historical sites, which is unique, novel, high-grade and precious; In the past three years, the company has invested more than 50 million yuan in the construction of scenic spots. Even if the 60 yuan per ticket and the number of tourists received per year are more than 10000, it will take 10 years to recover the investment cost, which restricts the sustainable development of the scenic spot. The hearing * * * lasted for more than two hours, and most of the hearing representatives expressed their support for the price increase, but the increase should be gradual and not too high. The Handan Municipal Price Bureau finally confirmed that tickets for this scenic spot rose to 50 yuan.
It is understood that this ancient stone dragon was accidentally discovered by villagers in Jiangyao Village, Sanling Township, Handan County 10 years ago. Up to now, 10 stone dragons have been excavated in the village, and the local legends about dragons cast a mysterious color on the origin of ancient stone dragons. From April 8 to 14 this year, CCTV's "Approaching Science" column broadcasted a feature film "Exploring loong Array" which fully reflected the mystery of the origin of the ancient stone dragon, and the ancient stone dragon scenic spot became more famous.
