Wugengliao Blast Furnaces
Wugengliao Blast Furnaces, Ancient metallurgical site in Shangtianzhi, China.
The Wugengliao Blast Furnaces contain multiple iron smelting structures that demonstrate traditional Chinese metalworking techniques through their preserved architectural elements.
During China's Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, these furnaces participated in a nationwide effort to increase steel production through local manufacturing methods.
The furnaces represent Chinese metallurgical knowledge, illustrating the development of iron production methods that influenced agricultural tools and weaponry manufacturing.
Visitors reach the blast furnaces by following designated pathways through Shangtianzhi, with informational panels explaining the smelting processes used in ancient times.
The site maintains examples of water-powered bellows systems that enhanced air supply and metal production rates during the Han dynasty period.
