Steel plant makes sculptures, not smoke

Delong took initiative to cut production and invested in treatment of pollutants

To Han Yunhong, the steel plant is her workplace. However, it is an amusement park for her daughter.

The Xingtai Delong Iron & Steel Co is among dozens of steel plants in northern China's Hebei province, a major steel and coal producer in the country. Instead of producing smoke and thick dust, the plant, covering an area of more than 120 hectares, is a national 3A-rated tourist attraction, with lush trees and clean air.
