To most of us, coal mines are a mystery. On August 12, many tourists experienced a unique "Coal Mine Tour" at a teaching mine used for security training in Yuncheng Vocational and Technical College in Yuncheng, Shanxi province. Shanxi province is a major coal-mining area of China.

This teaching mine provides a real coal mining environment for security training, practical teaching and mining research. Hongyuan Coal Group Corporation invested almost 200 million Yuan ($31.1 million) to build this teaching coal mine and it meets the highest standards of modern coal mines. The mine is equipped like a standard medium-sized coal mine in China, and the scale of the shaft and engineering lane is 1:1 with real mine. This teaching coal mine is equivalent to a coal mine with a production of 3 million tons annually.
