- Leave Lumbini alone! Vertical Theme Parks/China should reconsider mega-project
Rangzen Cafe has added a photo to the pool:
Why does anyone need a tacky mega-development project here? If you want to see a tower, one can go to Dubai, Disneyland, Las Vegas or any number of tourist attractions elsewhere.

Dowi county;
The county capital of Dowi, traditionally known in Tibetan as Yardzi or Dowi Khar and Chinese as Xunhua, lies on the south bank of the river Machu (Yellow River).
Since the 14th century the county has been predominantly inhabited by the Salar, a very tight-knit band of Central Asian Muslims. By the 19th century, the Salar had absorbed several villages north of the river Machu (Yellow River). The county town is quite large, but surrounded by fields, some open and others enclosed by mud walls, where fruit trees are cultivated. Despite the Salars`overwhelming dominance in the agriculturally rich valleys of lower Dowi, the Tibetans continue to occupy the upper valleys, and several important monasteries can be visited. Prior to 1958 (Cultural Revolution) there were altogether 33 Tibetan shrines or monasteries within the county, the most important being Bimdo Gonpa and Gori Gonpa.
