Zijinshan Industrial Eco-Tourism Area

The Zijinshan Industrial Eco-Tourism Area is situated on Zijin Mountain, at the junction of Jiuxian Township and Caixi Town, approximately 25 kilometers north of Shanghang County. Bordered by the Ting River to the west and the Jiuxian River to the south, the area features rugged rocks and towering peaks that seem to touch the sky, earning it the reputation of "Shanghang County’s Premier Scenic Wonder." It is among the first group of "National Mine Parks" and one of the first "National Industrial Tourism Demonstration Sites." The scenic area is surrounded by mountains and water, boasting beautiful landscapes. It holds extremely rich deposits of gold and copper, with extractable gold reserves exceeding 146 tons and copper reserves surpassing 2 million tons. It is vividly likened to a "copper baby wearing a golden hat." Major attractions include the Zijinshan Gold Mine open-pit mining site, the Qilin Summit Viewing Platform, the Gold Mine’s First Mineral Processing Plant, and the Gold Smelting Plant.
