Ecological damage

The production team of the kung fu epic movie 'The Promise' was fined US$11,250 for ecological damage in a pristine area of Yunnan Province, according to the Ministry of Construction.

Meanwhile, an unidentified deputy governor of Shangri-La County, where the movie was shot at the Bigu Lake, has been sacked for responsibility in the case, the ministry said.

The production crew built a house, a 100-meter-long gravel road, and a 20-meter-long road covered with wood and destroyed rare plants around the lake.
