Luo Guanzhong, the author of "The Three Kingdoms", is from Taiyuan, Shanxi. Many Three Kingdoms enthusiasts, including some players in the mobile game "Siege of the City and the Land", want to see him while traveling to Shanxi.

How did a Three Kingdoms City, which cost 60 million yuan, become a deserted ruin? Let’s take a look with the “Siege of the City and the Land” mobile game player “The Sky is High and the Clouds are Flat”.

Siege the city of the Three Kingdoms

In February 2017, in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, the "Three Kingdoms City" of Qingxu County, from the early stage of its completion to the dilapidated and dilapidated houses and overgrown weeds, Luo Guanzhong's dream of developing his hometown is in an embarrassing situation.

In 1995, after three years and spending more than 60 million yuan, the Three Kingdoms City, located on the shore of Qingquan Lake in the northwest of Qingxu County, was officially completed and opened to tourists. Its overall structure is a closed-loop building imitating the Ming and Qing imperial palace style. Among them, the statue of Guan Yu in Guan Sheng Temple is so tall that it ranks the highest in the country.

In the early years of opening, ticket revenue was about 3 million yuan, and it began to plummet since then. Time flies, and more than 20 years have passed, but "Three Kingdoms City" has long been different from the past. Since simple tourism development has reached a dead end, Qingxu County re-planned the surrounding Three Kingdoms City in 2004.

Among them, the Three Kingdoms City will be converted into a tourist performing arts city to show the local folk art of Qing and Xu, and at the same time, the stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are interpreted in the form of shadow puppets.

Later, Shanxi Xinghua College contracted Sanguo City to transform Sanguo City into a stage for students to perform in the school. However, after investing 1 million yuan, no output has been found.

The emergence of the Three Kingdoms City of Qingxu was a product of blind launching under the national tourism development craze in the 1990s. Jiangsu has the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City and Hubei has the Three Kingdoms City. Qingxu has no advantage in terms of environment, scale, or historical geography, so it determines the dimness of its prospects.

The failure of Three Kingdoms City also lies in the problem with the overall style design. Since it is the Three Kingdoms City, it should be built in the Han and Wei style in line with the original historical appearance, but it ended up being a building imitated by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Unfortunately, although Qingxu established the Luo Guanzhong Research Association very early, the promotion of Luo Guanzhong has been in the Three Kingdoms City, which is not closely related to Qingxu, for the realLuo Guanzhong, who was able to have a profound impact on Qingxu, seemed not so enthusiastic.
