Chengdu Fangda Carbon Materials Industrial Tourism Area

成都方大炭材工业旅游景区

📍 Longquanyi District🏷 3A Tourist Attraction
A级景区-3A龙泉驿区

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.
