The Gold Ecological Park intended to follow the development model of ecological museums. However it did not provide appropriate mechanism for local participation. This led to the museum representation not authentically reflecting local recognition of historical context and cultural significance. The local also reflected that the Park did not repay for the local development. Moreover, due to the rush planning procedure, the ways of re-use of old buildings and museum exhibitions more relied on professionals. The Park did not considerately choose the style and contents of museum representations by enhancing the interrelationship with the locals to acquire the suggestions from Jinguashi’s residents, local cultural and historical workers, and former miners. This led to the limited consensus of residents on the exhibitions and re-use of old buildings. On the aspect of local development, the Park did not effectively promote tourist industry due to the limited political power, personnel and budget. On the aspect of land right, the Park did not play an active role to report the issues to the county government that should associate relative institutions for searching strategies to resolve the issues in this regard. On the aspect of architectural and landscape management, Jinguashi still needs an effective regulation system for managing building height, building bulk ratio and even building colors, textures and landscape vocabularies to preserve the settlement characters of Jinguashi buildings and skyline. So far, the Park just presented Jinguashi ecological environmental, historical and cultural contents. This research thus identifies that the Gold Ecological Park only reached incompletely ecological museum practice. Therefore the Park needs more efforts and modification toward a completely ecological museum practice.
