The museum is being regarded as a unique tourist destination featuring quake relics, with construction to be completed in four years. Museum visitors will be able to access the Tangjiashan Earthquake Lake by cable car. Other exhibits will include the ruins of Beichuan High School and the Beichuan county seat.

The Counter Strike (CS) playground, a simulated tactical games entertainment park built near the quake relics in the province's Pengzhou City, is regarded by many people as disrespectful to those killed in the earthquake.

Inspired by the popular military-based video game CS, participants play tactical games with laser guns in an imagined realm of modern warfare.

Dai Jun, manager of the entertainment park, has made it clear that the area where the playground is located is an open field with a collapsed pavilion, blocked water channel and other barriers, and there are no deceased buried under the park.

A survey by sina.com showed that 54.3 percent of 22,793 people polled supported building such an entertainment park.
