The decision was made after a thorough and rigorous examination of its main scenic spots, according to the areas administration. Experts with the Ministry of Construction say some of Chinas world heritage sites are facing an increasingly serious threat, to the point of irreversible destruction. In the past, TV and film producers have destroyed the scenic environment at Jiuzhaigou, including the shooting teams of The Promise (Wu Ji), Stories of Heroes (Da Qi Ying Xiong Zhuan) and The Legend of Condor Hero (Shen Diao Xia Lu). The crew of The Promise, for example, was accused of littering and damaging vegetation near the pristine Bigu Lake in Shangri-la county, a scenic natural reserve known as human paradise in southwest Chinas Yunnan Province, while the Condor Hero crew caused heavy pollution in the Jiuzhaigou National Forest Park in southwest Sichuan Province. The producers of the Stories of Heroes were recently criticized by Pan Yue, deputy director of State Environmental Protection Administration, for arbitrarily painting the Moya Stone Inscriptions in a scenic area in Suzhou, east Chinas Jiangsu Province. In May 2006, producers of The Promise were fined 90,000 yuan (US$11,250) for their shameful environmentally insensitive behavior. by Kiki
