Tianjin Salt Industry Cultural Tourism Area

　　     Introduction     With a history of salt production spanning over a thousand years, the Han'gu Saltworks is renowned both in China and abroad for having the longest salt-making heritage, the most advanced modern salt production techniques, and the highest-quality salt. Covering a total area of 139 square kilometers, it accounts for 32.5% of the jurisdiction’s total area. Visitors can take in the vast expanse of brine reservoirs, admire the towering salt piles resembling mountains, witness the grandeur of salt mountains and brine seas, and observe modern production processes such as mechanical salt harvesting, salt raking, salt transportation, salt washing, and twin-arm machine stacking. The modern salt production techniques have made the site a “Youth Science Education Base,” which is especially popular among primary and secondary school students.      To get there, take bus 462 from Tianjin East Railway Station to the Sanjiao Lake area in Han'gu, then transfer to bus 133 or bus 401 to Wulicun.
