Jinxing Amusement Park, the first amusement park in Lhasa, has been a favorite park for local children for 15 years, said Fan Kuande, a worker of the amusement park. However, due to natural wear and tear, aging, man-made damage and other reasons, the pirate ship, ferris wheel and other facilities have gotten different degrees of damage, which might cause safety risks.
