Jinhuagong Mine Park is located about 13 kilometers west of Datong City, across the river from the Yungang Grottoes, a world cultural heritage. In 2000, the "underground exploration tour" project was developed here, becoming the first batch of national industrial tourism demonstration sites. The park integrates industrial site protection, environmental renewal, ecological restoration and green mine construction. This is a new type of leisure and sightseeing park, and it is also a mining cultural and creative park that has left a complete memory of modern industry for the world. The main attractions in the park are the Coal Museum and the Underground Adventure Tour.
The Coal Museum in the park is a large-scale mine museum integrating science, knowledge, appreciation and fun. The treasure of the town hall here is a silicified wood that has been coaled, with a dark body and clear texture. Up to now, you can still clearly see the scales and veins of the original plant.
