Linglong

Linglong is an industrial town in Shandong Province centered around large-scale production facilities and research operations. The town hosts the headquarters of the Linglong Tire manufacturer and features extensive manufacturing capacity that drives local development.

The town began its industrial growth in 1975 with the founding of a tire manufacturing plant that established its foundation. Over subsequent decades, it expanded into one of the region's leading tire production centers with growing international reach.

The factory facilities and production workshops shape the local landscape and daily rhythms of residents, where traditional craftsmanship skills blend with contemporary manufacturing techniques. Workers in production clothing are visible throughout the town, and shift schedules govern the pace of life here.

The town has good road access that allows visitors to reach the production facilities and explore the industrial infrastructure on-site. The best time to visit is during off-peak periods when factories operate at lower intensity, allowing for better viewing opportunities.

The town hosts a massive tire testing track where a wide range of surface conditions and driving scenarios can be simulated for evaluation purposes. This facility represents one of the largest of its kind and demonstrates the technical depth of the industry operating here.
