What is Atomic City?

It is China’s first nuclear weapons research base, where the motherland’s first atomic bomb and first hydrogen bomb were born. This place is where the atomic bomb was developed. Now it has been developed into a tourist area, so it is called Atomic City.

Located on the Jinyintan Grassland about 20 kilometers east of Qinghai Lake in the Atomic City, the sky is exceptionally blue, the air is fresh, and there are few people. This is Qinghai in my impression.

The prairie, with blue sky and white clouds, is also the place where the immortal song "In That Faraway Place" written by the famous musician Wang took place. I used to listen to this song, listen to the rhythm, and imagine how beautiful the grassland is. At this point, the grass is actually not rich, and the romantic temperament can only be felt in singing. But when I thought that this was the place where Wang stayed, I had an incredible association.

The predecessor of "Atomic City" was the former state-owned Plant 221 of China National Nuclear Corporation. What's the story?

In the 1950s, China’s top decision-makers proposed that China could not do without the atomic bomb, so China embarked on the difficult journey of developing an atomic bomb.

The first is site selection. After repeated site selection, Jinyintan, Haiyan County, Qinghai Province, was finally selected and called Factory 221. It became China's first nuclear weapons research base.

On the 1,170 square kilometers of vast grassland in Jinyintan, the builders of the state-owned 221 factory base carried forward the entrepreneurial spirit of independence, self-reliance, self-improvement, and selfless dedication, set foot on the grassland with the blue sky above their heads, and founded China The first nuclear weapons research base. The base has devoted the efforts of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai and the first generation of scientists in New China such as Deng Jiaxian, Wang Changgan and Guo Yonghuai. It has gathered the great collaboration and selfless dedication of the people of all ethnic groups in the country; it has established a model of hard work, hard work, and The patriotic spirit of uniting and fighting to protect the country.
