An ongoing mechanical clock theme park project in Ganzhou city, East China's Jiangxi province, has been suspended, reported Workers Daily on Thursday.

According to the report, 450 million yuan ($72 million) has been invested in the project, which aims to boost the local tourism industry by an estimated 13 million yuan in annual income. It only received a very low number of visitors, generating only 300,000 yuan in annual income since it was put into operation.
