Tangshan, Industrial city in Hebei Province, China

Tangshan spreads across northeastern Hebei, with Yanshan Mountain to the north and Bohai Sea to the south, positioned 154 kilometers from Beijing.

The establishment of coal mines in 1870 by Kailuan Group marked the beginning of rapid industrialization, leading to China's first standard-gauge railway construction in 1882.

The Eastern Qing Mausoleum contains 15 imperial tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties, representing the architectural methods of ancient Chinese burial traditions.

The city connects to Beijing and Tianjin through frequent daily bus and train services from the West Bus Station, with journey times ranging from two to three hours.

The Xifengkou and Panjiakou sections of the Great Wall, constructed during the Ming Dynasty, now rest beneath the waters of Xifeng Lake.
