Haizhou Open Pit Mine

Haizhou open-pit coal mine was excavated in the 23rd year of Guangxu. It was declared bankrupt in 2005. Because of its special landform and large-scale geological changes, many animal and plant fossil specimens have been formed. Standing on the dispatching platform of the mine, overlooking Yiwulu Mountain, the mountain is winding and green. It is like a giant dragon across the southern edge of the open-pit mine. Deep into the mine, you can also feel the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia As a result, Haizhou open-pit coal mine has gradually become a hot tourist spot.

If the weather is fine, overlooking the stripping site, the locomotive roars past like a children's toy train; the large electric pick flies up and down, and the raw coal rolls down. On a moonlit night, Haizhou open-pit mine has a special taste. The lights are cascading, and the locomotives are looming by, like a huge halo enveloping the mysterious mine. The coal of Haizhou Open pit mine was generated in Mesozoic era. Large scale geological changes have formed many animal and plant fossil specimens. If you go deep into the stripping site, you will find some amazing fossils of fish, birds and trees from time to time. Visiting Haizhou Open pit mine, you can not only enjoy the style of the largest open pit coal mine in Asia, but also enjoy the spectacular scene of large-scale modern coal production. In the meantime, visitors can not but marvel at the mystery of nature, but also have to be proud of the feats of Fuxin people.

brief introduction

Haizhou Open pit coal mine is 4 km long from east to west, 2 km wide from north to south, with a vertical depth of more than 300 meters. It covers an area of more than 8 square kilometers. There are 28 boundary plates and 8 operation plates. The exposed section on the edge of the plate clearly shows the characteristics of geological structure, which provides great convenience for practice. Haizhou open-pit coal mine was excavated in the 23rd year of Guangxu. It was a large-scale open-pit coal mine in the 1950s. It was declared bankrupt in 2005. Fuxin Formation is the most important exposed geological layer in Fuxin area, which is developed in Fuxin City, Qinghemen, Yixian and Xinqiu, and is the main coal bearing stratum in Fuxin.

Introduction to the park

Haizhou Open pit mine, once Asia's first and world-famous open pit mine, was listed as the first batch of national mine parks in China after its closure in 2005, and was approved as the first industrial heritage tourism demonstration area in China in 2009. Covering a total area of 28 square kilometers, it is divided into four parts: world industrial heritage core area, steam locomotive Museum and Guanguang, international mine tourism special zone and national mine Sports Park, with more than 100 scenic spots. It is a world industrial heritage tourism project built on open-pit mining sites.

history

Haizhou Open pit coal mine is a large-scale open pit coal mine which was built with huge funds during the first five year plan (1953-1957). From 1953 to 2003, Haizhou coal mine produced 210 million tons of coal. In June 2005, Haizhou Open pit mine was officially closed due to the depletion of coal resources, but a huge mine with a length of 4 km, a width of 2 km and a vertical depth of 320 m was left due to coal mining.

In 2005, Haizhou opencast coal mine national mine park construction qualification passed the Ministry of land and resources examination, and together with 28 units in Beijing and other places, it became the first batch of national mine park construction in China. The Department of land and resources has carried out the geological disaster control and land reclamation project in Haizhou Open pit coal mine.

The newly started National Mine Park Museum has a building area of more than 5000 square meters. It has seven exhibition halls, including large-scale multimedia projection hall, safety production hall, sand table hall, ore hall, production tool hall and miner hall. It will show the history, culture and production process of coal mining in an all-round way, and is a panoramic picture of the glorious history of Haizhou Open pit mine.

In addition to the museum, the planned Haizhou Open Pit National Mine Park will also build "underground forest", "pit bottom reservoir" and "scientific research base" and other tourism projects.

According to the introduction of Fuxin Tourism Bureau, the mine sites represented by Haizhou Open Pit Coal Mine witness the 100 year development history of China's modern industry, and will be displayed in the order of manual excavation semi mechanization mechanization electrification automation digitalization. There are Japanese steam locomotives, Czech electric locomotives during World War II, industrial heritage relics such as the first electric pick imported from the former Soviet Union, and the first and last steam locomotives made in New China.
