The World Carnival has left Beijing, leaving a scar on the grassland of the International Sculpture Park.

To help the settlement of the mobile amusement park, about 55,000 square meters of greenery was removed in the sculpture park, including nearly 200 big trees.

Now, the 50-day event has moved away, and taken with it the laughter and huge profits, but it will take an enormous amount of money, manpower and time to regrow the lost parkland.
