Anshan

Anshan is a large city in Liaoning Province that spreads across flat terrain gradually rising into hills toward the Qianshan Mountains. The city developed as an industrial center with factories and modern infrastructure throughout its districts.

From 1931 under Japanese occupation, the city transformed into a steel production center with factories that later became crucial to China's industrial development. These early facilities shaped the city's character and economic focus that continues today.

The Jade Buddha Palace reflects how jade shapes local identity, and visitors can see a massive Buddha sculpture carved from a single stone that holds spiritual meaning for the community. The city's connection to this material runs deep, appearing throughout local crafts and religious practices.

The city is accessible through Anshan Tengao Airport and a central railway station, both located in Tiedong District. Visitors can reach major regional destinations and beyond through these transport hubs.

The Xiuyan region produces the largest amount of jade in China, reflecting a long tradition of stone work. The material flows to the China Jade Exhibition Center and other major trading centers, making this place central to the nation's jade trade.
