The plan was supposed to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of Zhengzhou，the capital of Henan province．However，what the officials have finally ended up with is a natural sandy mess．
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax．But things did not turn out that way--shortly after thousands of tons of sand was dug up，the underground water dried up．As a result，the dry sand has turned into a Sahara-like desert．The official report showed that sand was piled（堆）up to 10meters high．
What's worse，the sand hills now spread across an area with the size of four football fields and this has influenced the environment．On windy days，the dry sand moves into the city center，making it almost impossible to drive．People had to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes，nose and mouth．
In an act of trying to keep the sand and create theillusion of green fields，the official even tried covering the sand hills with a huge green plastic net．But that has not done much to improve the terrible situation．
As you can imagine，people in Zhengzhou feel sad about this unfinished park project．Instead of a beautiful park they were promised by the government，now，what they can see is their pleasant hometown has been seriously polluted．Their normal life is badly influenced．Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city．
