Houtong Coal Mine Ecological Park Introduction

The Houtong area was once primarily involved in coal mining, with attractions including the Houtong Coal Transport Bridge, the Ruisan Mining Coal Plant, a Japanese Shrine, the Jinzibei Ancient Trail, and the Houtong Train Station. To showcase the historical significance of the Houtong Coal Mine, park planning has been initiated, inviting the public to experience the beauty of mining and culture. The Vision Hall within the park was formerly the warehouse of the Ruisan Mining Coal Plant. It introduces various aspects related to the coal mining industry, presenting the characteristics of the Houtong area through text and images. In the movie "Bad Girl," the protagonist Adan's martial arts school is located at the side entrance of the Vision Hall; additionally, the male lead Justin's dream-building bakery is also filmed in this area.
