About Jiayang National Mining Park Museum
Housed in a former mine administration building at Bajiaogou, its displays cover the mine’s history, geology and coal extraction. The setting connects those subjects to a surviving industrial settlement, with former offices and workers’ housing nearby. Visit it alongside the railway experience to understand why this unusual line was built and how the coalfield shaped local life, rather than treating the train simply as a nostalgic photograph.
What to look for
- Mine-history, geology and coal-extraction displays in a former administration building.
- The industrial heritage of Bajiaogou, including former offices and residential architecture.
