Arrival & the Open Pit

The Haizhou open pit runs roughly 3.9 km long and 1.8 km wide, with the floor about 350 m down; coal extraction here ended in June 2005 and the site became one of China's first national mine parks that same year. Viewing platforms first, then a market-district dinner.

Haitangshan Carvings

South of the city in Fuxin Mongol Autonomous County, under an hour by road. More than 260 Tibetan-Buddhist figures were carved into the granite slopes from the 17th century on, around the site of the Kangxi-era Puan monastery; climb slowly and watch your footing on the rock stairs.
