Yangquan is the "First City of the Chinese Communist Party" and a resource-based city founded on mining. Yangquan's industrial history is not only a record of the country's arduous industrialization process under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, but also a witness to the country's memory. However, in recent years, due to the impact of " reverse industrialization", a large amount of valuable industrial heritage in Yangquan is facing a crisis of survival. Based on the history of industrial development and the city's cultural lineage, this paper systematically compares and analyses the characteristics of Yangquan's industrial heritage, assesses its current situation and problems of revitalization and utilization, and proposes measures for the activation and utilization of Yangquan's modern industrial heritage in the context of cultural and tourism integration, in order to provide a case study for resolving the contradiction between urban development and industrial heritage conservation.
