Anshan is China's important base for iron and steel industry, 90 kilometres south of Shenyang, the provincial capital of Northeast China's Liaoning Province. Anshan covers an area of more than 70 square kilometres with a population of over one million. The Anshan Iron and Steel Company is a large iron and steel complex; hence the city is known as the "Steel Capital" of China. The city has made rapid progress in light and textile industries in recent years. Mt. Qianshan is the most famous tourist attraction in Anshan.

Mt. Qianshan

Mount Qianshan, located southeast of Anshan, is one of the three famous mountains in northeast China. The Terrace of Immortals, the main peak of the mountain, is over 700 meters above sea level. The Qianshan Mountain (meaning "a thousand peaks" in Chinese) got its name from the nearly 1,000 peaks. Some of them look like crouching lions and tigers, some like sleeping elephants and coiled dragons. As early as Sui and Tang Dynasties the mountain was the location for temple, and later became a center of Buddhist and Taoist temples. The forest-clad mountain abounds with scenic spots and historical sites. It is a tourist attraction in east Liaoning Province well known for the "towering peaks, step rocks and ancient temples".
