Tangshan: A City Accelerating Its Development via Innovation, Port, and Culture

TANGSHAN, China, December 22, 2025 — The Hebei Foreign Publicity and Exchange Center recently organized a targeted study visit to Tangshan, highlighting three core catalysts for the city’s evolution: its robotics sector, Tangshan Port, and cultural tourism industry. Leveraging these strengths, a special video has been created to showcase Tangshan’s accelerating development momentum.

The robotics segment of the video features an array of cutting-edge technologies, including undercarriage blow-off robots, aerial inspection drones, specialized track robots, and the “Huiyan” vision system—an innovation that lets machines “see and understand” their surroundings. These advancements have moved beyond laboratory settings into real-world applications. By 2025, Tangshan is home to 266 robotics companies, forming a rapidly expanding innovation cluster.

Regarding the video:

From land to sea, Tangshan’s development momentum extends seamlessly to its port economy. Between January and September this year, Tangshan Port handled a total cargo throughput of 652.76 million tonnes, a year-on-year increase of 2.62 percent. At Caofeidian Port, enclosed conveyor systems can transport up to 9,000 tonnes of iron ore per hour. What truly sets Tangshan Port apart, however, is not just its scale but its deeply integrated industrial chain—spanning port logistics, steel production, and high-end steel products. Here, port operations and industry function as a unified system, jointly driving the future development of northern China.

Meanwhile, this city once defined by industry is undergoing a profound transformation through culture and ecological restoration. After years of rehabilitation, Nanhu Lake Scenic Area—formerly a mining subsidence zone—has been reborn as Tangshan’s vibrant green heart. The Tangshan Food Culture Museum preserves the city’s rich culinary heritage, while Hetou Old Street brings Tang Dynasty culture to life via immersive performances. On October 2, during the National Day holiday, Hetou Old Street recorded a peak of 118,000 visitors in a single day, reflecting the street’s growing appeal.

Discover Tangshan, where innovation, port development, ecological renewal, and cultural revival converge to shape a city brimming with fresh possibilities.
