Jining No. 3 Coal Mine

　　Jining No. 3 Coal Mine is located by the picturesque Weishan Lake, enjoying a superior geographical position and convenient transportation. It has formed an integrated new development model of coal, electricity, and port, combining safety, efficiency, environmental protection, energy saving, and ecological civilization. The mine integrates four parks—Coal Industrial Park, Science and Technology Demonstration Park, Tourism and Sightseeing Park, and Popular Science Education Park—into a large-scale modern coal mine.

　　Officially put into operation on December 28, 2000, Jining No. 3 Coal Mine features main equipment imported from abroad, with world-class technology and facilities. Its comprehensive mechanization level in coal mining reaches 100%. In October 2005, the mine successfully passed the national tourism administration's high-standard acceptance inspection, becoming one of the first industrial tourism demonstration sites in China’s coal industry. In February 2010, it was recognized as a "National Popular Science Education Base" by the China Association for Science and Technology, making it the only coal mine in the country to receive this honor.

　　With top-tier technology and equipment, management, efficiency, and corporate image, Jining No. 3 Coal Mine has become a preferred destination for domestic and international business inspections. Industrial tourism here has maintained high standards since the mine’s inception and now offers comprehensive functions integrating coal science education, sightseeing, leisure, entertainment, and shopping. Leveraging the resources of canal culture and Weishan Lake scenery, the tourism offerings have been expanded, introducing a three-in-one tour route including underground visits, ground tours, and lake cruises. The site is complemented by the Sishikou Port of Jining, known as the "Pearl of the Canal," which connects to the south with Weishan Lake and provides direct access to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, forming a golden waterway for industrial tourism. The mine has successively won China Coal Industry’s top award—the “Sun Cup,” the title of “Innovative Coal Mine of China’s Coal Industry,” and the China Coal Science and Technology Progress Award. It was also rated by the Ministry of Land and Resources and the China Mining Association as the only “Classic Mine” in China’s coal system.
