White hilltop resembles Mount Fuji, eliciting amusement online in China.
In the heart of Hebei province, northern China, a peculiar tourist destination titled "Universe Fantasy Land" has garnered laughter and scorn for its endeavor to replicate Mount Fuji's snowy summit on a tiny hill. Visitors are charged a hefty 98 yuan (approx. US$13) for the privilege.
This audacious attraction lies amid picture-perfect countryside, teasing city-dwellers from Beijing who yearn for an urban escape. Billed as a fairy-tale landscape, it offers a mountain, shimmering lake, green grass, a mystical white horse, and a rustic wooden cottage. Yet, the enchanting imagery seems to be a an elaborate illusion.
Numerous visitors who flocked to the hill, affectionately described as the "snow cap matcha volcano," have felt duped after finding that the "mountains" were merely smidgeons compared to the grandeur of Mount Fuji.
Interestingly, while there's no substantial online report about "Universe Fantasy Land," there is a mention of a Mago Stronghold site in Cangzhou, Hebei Province [1]. However, no glaring criticisms against it have surfaced.
Possible explanations for this controversy could be due to miscommunication or outdated information. Another plausible scenario involves widespread critique experienced by such venues, which have often landed in hot water on account of poor maintenance, misleading advertising, safety concerns, or overpriced services. If "Universe Fantasy Land" indeed exists, it might be engulfed in such issues.
(Without a specific context or further verified details, specifics about this location remain elusive. The Mago Stronghold mentioned in Hebei [1] appears unrelated to the described controversy.)
