Chengdu Fangda Carbon Materials Industrial Tourism Area
成都方大炭材工业旅游景区
A scenic area for visiting a transparent carbon materials industrial factory.
One of the few carbon-material-themed industrial tourism scenic areas in China, offering a close-up view of the entire graphite electrode production process.
As an offbeat choice for industrial tourism, it offers a unique experience suitable for visitors interested in manufacturing and materials science, but the surrounding facilities are limited, so it's better to visit along the way rather than making a special trip.
