Qixin originated in 1889. As a carrier of ‘industrial civilization’, it opens the chapter for building Tangshan into a ‘famous cultural city’. Here, the modern Chinese cement industrial culture is effectively preserved and improved. Walking among it, the industrial cultural atmosphere is rich and distinct. Art, culture, creativity, inspiration, industry, and old walls, everything has quieted down. Only inner peace can truly feel her charm.
History and art, art and architecture blend with each other. The rusty cement kiln system, old wooden structure platform, old power generation equipment, broken walls, and silos reveal the long history. The once tall and magnificent buildings tell people about the past glory and splendor. In the unchanged space, the changes and vicissitudes of a hundred years are all reflected. Tangshan Qixin Cement Industrial Museum and 1889 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park are transformed from the core area of a cement factory in China – Qixin Cement Factory. Qixin Cement Factory, established in 1889, is the cradle of China’s cement industry. With the progress of cement process equipment and urban development, Qixin Cement Factory has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage as a factory. But Tangshan did not simply abandon the old factory area. Instead, the Qixin Cement Industrial Museum was established. Passing through the Qixin East Gate rebuilt on a 1:2 scale in the Qixin Museum, it seems to cross time and space and return to more than a hundred years ago. The huge abandoned cement kiln is silent, and the fly ash at the kiln head seems to still retain the residual heat of that year. Many merchants in the 1889 park are also full of a strong industrial atmosphere and cultural atmosphere. The once old buildings have been renovated and transformed into Chinese and Western restaurants, a gallery street, boutique bars, personal studios, private clubs, and creative offices. New wine in old bottles, fashionable industrial style. These shops open up tourists’ vision, hearing and taste. Here, there is not only a historical display spanning a hundred years, but also such fashionable, cultural and creative spaces. At present, the park has been included in the key cultural and creative industry projects of the Tangshan Municipal Government and one of the ten landmark buildings in Tangshan. It has been built into a patriotic education base, an education base for the development history of modern Chinese industry, a city history education base in Tangshan and a modern cultural tourism industry base. Here has gradually become the most characteristic cultural, commercial and fashionable vitality area in Tangshan. It not only has the industrial nostalgic experience accumulated by history, but also contains various fashionable elements in the information age, building a characteristic tourism line reflecting the city’s historical and cultural features.
