Why did Shougang build Shijingshan?

Location advantage 1: industrial raw materials. Shougang needs coal fuel. Mentougou has a coal storage area of nearly 700 square kilometers, accounting for half of the total area of the region. It is one of the five largest anthracite producing areas in China. Therefore, the site is adjacent to Mentougou District.

Location advantage 2: close to water sources. After entering Shijingshan District, Yongding River, which flows through Mentougou, is very close to Shougang, so only a diversion canal needs to be built, and the engineering quantity is very small.

Location advantage 3: environmental protection. Beijing has a monsoon climate, with northwest winds blowing in winter and southeast winds blowing in summer. In order to prevent industrial pollution to the city, the site should be in the southwest and northeast of Beijing, and Shijingshan Shougang belongs to the southwest of Beijing.

Location advantage 4: convenient transportation. Shougang is located on the extension line on the west side of Chang 'an Avenue, with convenient transportation.
