Storyline: Industrial tours gain traction in China [Voice_over] In China, more and more people are participating in so-called "industrial tourism" to visit some of the country's industrial advancements, both past and present. In Beijing, the renovated Shougang Park steel plant which has been transformed into a sports and culture hub has been attracting visitors. They're also traveling here, to a plateau in northwest China's Qinghai Province. The Longyangxia Hydropower Station has a sprawling mirror farm, the size of 30 football fields. A central tower captures the sunlight reflected from 30,000 mirrors in a spectacular display of green energy.
