2. Tiantangba Mine

Tiantangba mine used to be an open-pit mine, but it was gradually abandoned with the completion of resource development. With the precipitation of time, nature gradually recovered and formed a beautiful and clear blue lake.

The park has been closed because it is not a commercial scenic spot. All climbing and landscape viewing should be especially careful. Don't get too close to the edge of the cliff to avoid accidents. If there are old people and children or rainy weather, it is recommended not to travel. Of course, I also hope that this place can be restored as soon as possible and become a safe tourist attraction.
