Gansu "Desert Giant Baby"!
There are countless magical buildings in China, and some of the more special ones have become a regional landmark.
The bustling city has its own landmark buildings, which are convenient for people to watch and visit, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
But you know what? In an ancient town called Guazhou in Gansu Province, people have left a "desert giant baby" sculpture alone on the empty, dry, cold Gobi Desert for two years!
This is a very unique sculpture landscape in the Gansu desert, attracting people to go thousands of miles to see the "desert giant baby" this child.
The "Desert Giant Baby" looks like a baby sleeping on the ground, which is very cute. The "Giant Baby" is 15 meters long, 9 meters wide and 4.8 meters high. Although it is a building, it is not rigid, it looks like a real baby: a cute expression, closed eyes, quiet lying on the stomach, like a child nestled in the arms of a mother, sleeping peacefully.
As a tourist attraction, he called it "Children of the Earth".
The "desert giant baby" slept on the desert for more than two years. There is not even a decent other building around him, except that the desert is gravel, which should be painstakingly done by the builders, no wonder that although more and more tourists come to "visit" this child, but after the tourists come, they see the children sleeping in the lonely desert, and the first reaction is: very "heartache"!
"Desert Giant Baby" is from Professor Dong Shubing of Tsinghua University, the name of the work is "Children of the Earth", which means that we are all children of the earth, and we should be grateful that this land has bred us. Its design and construction were organized by Professor Dong Shubing, and the required funds were also raised by him, and after the construction was completed, they were given to the local area for free. Professor Dong Shubing said that the reason for the construction of this "giant baby" was to protect the local living environment, and later it became a landmark building in the desolate land of Guazhou.
The manufacturing process of the "Desert Giant Baby" is very troublesome because it is too large, and the 3D printing technology used in the handling is to split the model of the statue into pieces and then transport it to the desert to assemble it. And in order to ensure the smooth construction of the sculpture, the local government also built a road nearby.
There is no doubt that the "Desert Giant Baby" can truly reflect the author's good intentions, that is, to tell us to cherish this land and protect the ecological environment under our feet.
