Peng Baohong said she felt very sad when she arrived at the famous village of Magu on March 23.

Long considered one of Central China's oldest ancient heritage villages because of its more than 1,000 years of history, much of Magu - which is tucked away in the Shangjie district of Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province - had been reduced to rubble in just 20 days, to make way for what planners called an intelligent-electrical industry park.

Five of its seven cultural sites, such as ancient homes and family temples, had been demolished and the remaining two were set to follow, villager Wang Fuxian said.
