( CNN ) -- Chinese authorities were explicit : Tear down the nation 's first sex-themed amusement park before it gets going full steam . Visitors catch a glimpse of Love Land , billed as China 's first-ever sex theme park , in southwest China . Love Land had not opened its doors yet , but authorities in the city of Chongqing -- a sprawling metropolis on the banks of the Yangtze River -- got all hot and bothered over the park 's plans to display naked human sculptures , giant replica genitals and a photo gallery on the history of sex , the state-run China Daily reported . Lu Xiaoqing , park manager , told the newspaper he got the idea for building Love Land after a visit to a sex park in Jeju , a popular destination in South Korea . Love Land would include sex-technique workshops and sex education to help adults `` enjoy a harmonious sex life , '' Lu said . `` Sex is a taboo subject in China , but people really need to have more access to information about it , '' he told the newspaper . `` We are building the park for the good of the public . '' Whatever Lu 's intentions , the newspaper said Chinese officials saw it another way : `` vulgar , ill-minded and misleading . '' The park was to open in October but was demolished over the weekend -- thongs , replicas of derrieres and all . Reactions posted on the Internet were varied , according to the China Daily . Some thought sex was best left behind closed doors , while others argued that a real need for sex education existed in China . `` Sex is a matter of privacy . It is not for publicity , '' said Xia Xueluan , a sociology professor at Beijing University . The officials in Chongquing apparently agreed .
