In the last two decades or so, numerous movements that involved local governments in China taking initiatives to utilize grand monuments as local landmarks and tourist resources, which commemorate the heroes of Chinese mythology relevant to the region. Active discussions are going on within Chinese mythological circle about this phenomenon, which was conceptualized as “landscapization of myth resources.” Among them, “Dayu Myth Park” in Wuhan, Hubei Province calls for a particular attention, which is a theme park filled with sculptures that describe the myth of Yu the Great, a savior-hero famed for his ability to control the waters.<BR> This paper explores the mode in which this park utilized the myth, and further examines the meaning of “landscapization” of Chinese myth resources and the spectrum of political, economic, and cultural desires that surround the myth resourcization by analyzing the scholarly discussions and evaluations of that matter and the pattern of participation in the construction process. Recognizing the importance of cultural industry in the wake of globalization, summoning of Chinese nationalism in the face of ideological crisis of communism, and the “fever for cultural heritage” fueled by the influence of UNESCO World Heritage list system—all of these have served as the complex cause that led to the local governments scrambling for the construction of various structures and landmarks that utilized mythical or historical figures as their central theme. What is at work behind such “landscapization” is not only the desire to liven up the local economy through the promotion of tourism industry, but also the desire for monumentalization, that is, to create the monument that could be held up as the symbol of national identity.<BR> Particular case of Dayu Myth Park, however, reveals much more concrete circumstances. For instance, there are complexly entwined accidental elements involved in the case from the social aspiration of the city of Wuhan to rise from the nightmare of a natural disaster, i.e. flood, by summoning and celebrating the power of myth, to the cultural desire for Chinese mythology to possess the artistic and formal characteristics that could compete with the Greek mythology of the West, the academia seeking new avenues for the field of mythology by examining, criticizing, and actively participating in the matter, and the experiences and ideas shared by the people who actually participated in constructing the park. The multifarious aspects surrounding Dayu Myth Park makes us realize that it is necessary for us to examine the socio-cultural contexts surrounding the case in a more multifaceted and acute manner when we look at the utilization of myths in present day, in particular, the monumentalization and landscapization of mythical heroes that are happening abundantly in China.
