Building an "Astronomy Town" in the middle of nowhere and expecting it to attract tourists permanently has echoes of Japan's bubble era written all over it. Random point of comparison: https://soranews24.com/2018/04/24/eerie-dystopian-view-emerg...

Japan's domestic tourism boom was done in by the triple combo of recession (30 years and counting), depopulation and Japanese finding it cheaper and more interesting to travel overseas. Sooner or later these will hit China too.
