Shijingshan

— The iron and steel plant of Shih-ching-shan is situated on the Yung-ting Ho, 14 mi. west of the city centre. This plant, first opened in 1920, was completed in 1937 and produced 80,000 tons of pig iron at its peak under Japanese rule. The plant was greatly expanded by the Communists, and annual production increased to more than five times its previous capacity. Beyond Shih-ching-shan, at the end of a rail spur, 20 mi. west of the city centre, are the coal mines of Men-t'ou-kou.
