China’s Steel City nestled between Shenyang and Dalian has perhaps the most well known hot springs in Liaoning Province.The Tanggangzi hot springs,once the playground of the Qing emperors,is now one of the four large hot springs resort areas under development.The lush mountains filled with many examples of cultural heritage add to the allure of the city.The mix of tourism and strong economy make Anshan one of the top-level cities in Liaoning Province.
Anshan has taken on the task of shedding the after effects of being the center for steel production for many years by embracing more ecological attractions.Steel is still a major industry here,but many steps have been put in place to ensure a cleaner,greener city.
Mineral deposits are additionally a major part of the economy in the area with magnesite,an important steel producing mineral,and the world’s largest deposit of talcum.The later mineral is used in nearly every production industry from mechanical to pharmaceutical.
The deposit in Anshan measures up to nearly one third of the world supply.On the more luxurious side of the mining industry,Anshan also has large deposits of jade.
