The mining district in Yangquan city, Shanxi province, has made significant strides in innovative development by advancing energy transition, industrial upgrading, and diversified growth, thereby enhancing the resilience and vitality of the regional economy.

The district has strategically directed resources – capital, technology, and talent – toward fields such as technological innovation, high-end manufacturing, the digital economy, and cultural tourism. It has supported the construction of specialized towns, fostering collaboration among large, medium, and small enterprises. Additionally, businesses are encouraged to explore integrated industrial chains like "coal-electricity-digital", "coal-machinery-material", and "culture-tourism-commerce".

The district is also exploring new pathways for integrating culture and tourism. Key initiatives include establishing the Mine Protection Campaign Memorial Hall exhibition, completing the Cultural Relics Management Center, and the phased restoration of historic buildings, all of which mark important steps in advancing the district's cultural and tourism industries.
