Ruins of the Longwangshan Ore Mining and Dressing Site
The Longwangshan Ore Mining and Dressing Site is a cultural tourism attraction.
Mining began in the Han Dynasty, initially involving unregulated extraction of sulfur and silver ores. During the Qing Dynasty, Yu Guangrong was appointed to oversee mining operations, primarily extracting lead, copper, zinc, gold, silver, titanium, tin, sulfur, iron, and molybdenum. In October 1980, large-scale mechanized mining commenced. The open-pit mine features an elevation difference of 600 meters across the mountain, forming irregular terraces, each up to 8 meters high and 4–6 meters wide. The lowest terrace is 280 meters long and 35 meters wide, with terraces ascending upwards. The topmost terrace is 400 meters long and 200 meters wide, covering a total area of 80,000 square meters. On March 5, 2013, it was designated as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
Protection boundary: Starting from the outer edge of the site, extending 50 meters in all four directions.
Construction control zone: Extending 50 meters beyond the protection boundary in all four directions.
