No.4 and No.3 coal mines

No.3 coal mine has stopped digging coal and has become a factory and mine that can be visited. Now every day, a tour guide takes a group to visit the mine. The guides here are all former miners. Helmets and miner's lamps are provided in the mine, and the visiting time is 3 hours. Visitors can personally experience how hard and difficult it is to work in a narrow mine with a height of less than 1 m. In addition, the temperature under the mine is constant at -5 degrees Celsius, so tourists must pay attention to keep warm.
