Over the years, with the staunch support of the Jungar Banner Committee and the local government, Jungar Energy Group has adhered to transforming and upgrading scenic spots in accordance with 5A-level scenic spot standards, and it has reclaimed and greened a total of 3,340 hectares of land. With unremitting efforts, the Group converted the mine with conspicuous gullies into a state-level green mine, with the vegetation coverage of the mining area increased to 80 percent, and the reclamation rate 100 percent. The Group has built a phenomenal industrial tourist attraction that integrates industrial heritage protection, popularization of coal mine science, leisure industry and tourism, and ecological progress display.

In 2021, the State Council formulated and issued the tourism development plan during the 14th Five-Year period, proposing to encourage the development of industrial tourism based on industrial production sites, production techniques and industrial heritages, and to build a number of national industrial tourism demonstration bases.

For more than two years, Jungar Banner has facilitated industrial tourism in accordance with the concept of regional tourism, and has created industrial tourism routes focusing on characteristic attractions such as Jungar Energy Ecological Tourism Zone, Dalu Industrial Park, and Ceramic Town, in a bid to demonstrate the regional industrial culture. In the next step, Jungar Banner will adhere to ecological priority and green development, enhance industrial tourism to add luster to high-quality development, and embark on a new journey of industrial tourism.
