In 2000, Changde Municipal Party Committee and Municipal People's Government implemented the plan of "Step-by-Step Development of Poetry Wall, Bund and Shui Yuan", relocated the gravel yard of Poetry Wall Bund, demolished the original buildings and carefully built Poetry Wall Park. After three years of construction, a 6-mile-long scenic belt has been formed. There are more than 30 kinds of trees/kloc-0 in the park, such as ginkgo, camphor, willow and banyan, and more than 60,000 square meters of water-resistant turf is planted, dotted with various scenic spots and wonders of the Five Tombs.
On September 5, 2000, the Guinness Headquarters in Shanghai officially named it "the longest artistic wall of poetry, calligraphy and painting in the world", which made it enter the history of world cultural projects.
Poetry Wall is a collection of poems, calligraphy and fine arts works by famous contemporary artists in China. It is called the longest art wall of poems, books, paintings and engravings in the world and won the title of "Best in Guinness". Poetry wall attracts visitors from all directions with its rich cultural connotation, positive ideological content and exquisite artistic form. Contemporary poetry, calligraphy and painting circles praise it as "three wonders of poetry and calligraphy", "an artistic picture developed since ancient times", "the first in a famous country" and "a must in China"; Yu Guangzhong, a famous poet in Taiwan Province, called it "The Great Wall of Poetic Country" and "Half the Literature History". The national copyright department thinks it has great development and utilization value. In March and April, 2000, the Chinese Poetry Society and China Poets (New Poetry) visited Changde respectively, and both praised the poetry wall as "the first wall in the world"! It is a great creative project of contemporary cultural construction in China, and it has created a precedent for contemporary cultural construction, especially the construction of forest of steles.
