Pingxiang
Pingxiang City is located in the west of Jiangxi Province, on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, and serves as the 'western gate' of Jiangxi. The city covers a total area of about 3,823 square kilometers and has a permanent population of about 1.8 million. Known for its abundant coal resources, Pingxiang has long been called the 'coal capital of Jiangnan' and is one of the important birthplaces of modern Chinese industry. It is also one of the cradles of China's red revolution: the Autumn Harvest Uprising broke out here, and the Anyuan railway and mining workers' movement became famous nationwide. Pingxiang not only possesses a rich industrial heritage and red culture, but also boasts magnificent natural scenery such as Wugong Mountain, making it a tourist destination that combines mountain and water landscapes with history and culture.

About this section
China has 34 provincial-level administrative regions, with cities scattered across the landscape—from Xi'an, unchanged in location for three thousand years, to Shenzhen, which has grown into a towering metropolis in just over four decades; from the intricate waterways of the Yangtze River Delta to the oasis islands in the northwestern desert. Each city is like a geological layer, holding the capitals of empires, docks of merchant guilds, factory whistles, and the accents of immigrants.
This section reorganizes this urban map through ten special themed archives: explore the framework of ancient dynasties in "Ancient Capitals and Famous Cities," follow camel bells and caravans along the "Silk Road Cities," witness the daily life along border frontiers in "Frontier Town Charms," or step into "Manufacturing Powerhouses" to hear the continuous roar of Chinese workshops day and night. Choose a city and begin reading China through its streets and alleys.
