Qixin 1889 Cement Heritage Park
启新1889
An industrial heritage park built on the site of China's first machine-made cement works, combining old kilns, factory buildings and the China Cement Industry Museum in one place.
The predecessor of the Qixin Cement Works was the Tangshan Ximiantu Factory, founded in 1889. It produced China's first barrel of machine-made cement and is known as the "cradle of China's cement industry". The site is a National Industrial Heritage Site. After production ceased, it was converted into the Qixin 1889 cultural and creative park. The century-old kilns, silos and German-style factory buildings have been preserved. The park houses the China Cement Industry Museum and has added cafés, creative shops and performance spaces, and there is a light show in the evenings. Entry to the park is free, and museum hours should be checked on site. It can be combined with the Kailuan Mining Park for a day trip focused on industrial heritage.
