The history and culture are far away, and the humanities are rich. Yangguang Town has a special geographical position. It used to be the main road from the north to the mountains, from Shaanxi to the south to Hubei and Sichuan. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it became a post station, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. This is the base camp where Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin attacked Nanyang. After Li Shimin proclaimed himself emperor, he built Guangjiao Temple. This is the Chu-Han ancient battlefield, with the ruins of Han Xin Village. This is an important birthplace of Qigong in China. Wei Boyang cultivated truth on Sanxian Mountain in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which made great contributions to the establishment and perfection of China Qigong. Sanxian Mountain is a sacred place of Taoism, which was built by Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu in 39 AD and has a history of nearly 2,000 years. It is the hometown of Li, a contemporary general, and gave birth to Zhang Qiping, an academician of the Ming Dynasty.
The geographical advantage is unique and the transportation and communication are very convenient. There is a large-scale national enterprise Zhongnan Machinery Factory in the north, a large-scale national construction project Yahekou Thermal Power Plant in the west, Sanxian Temple, a Taoist holy place founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the east, 7 kilometers away from Yahekou Reservoir, a leisure summer resort, and Dongzhuang Railway Station in the northwest. Liu Jiao Railway, Henan Highway 02, Henan Highway 50, and Fang Ya Highway, the second largest artery in China, pass through the territory with convenient transportation. The township has opened a program-controlled telephone with optical cable, established a mobile communication tower and a Unicom communication tower, and the communication is smooth.
Agriculture and mineral resources are abundant. Yang Guang agriculture has four treasures-Boer goat, peanuts, tobacco leaves and Yang Guang jujube. At present, the area of tobacco leaves in the town has reached 6.5438+0.3 million mu, the area of peanuts has reached 80,000 mu, the economic forest of new varieties of red dates, nectarines and papaya in Yangguang has reached 6.5438+0.0 million mu, 5,000 mu of salvia miltiorrhiza has been interplanted, 5,000 mu of grass has been planted, and three Boer goat farms have been built. Yangguang Town is rich in mineral resources. The discovered minerals mainly include metallic mineral resources such as iron ore, molybdenum ore and silver ore, and nonmetallic mineral resources such as coal gangue, limestone, refractory soil, graphite and rock wool.
Industry develops in the reform, and private economy rises rapidly. Zhongnan Machinery Factory, a large national enterprise, was revitalized during the restructuring, and a diamond factory with an annual output of 50,000 carats was built, making it one of the largest diamond producers in Asia. After the completion of the second phase of Yahe Thermal Power Plant, the annual power generation will exceed 654.38+0 billion kWh. Private enterprises have sprung up suddenly, and Yang Guang Refractory Factory, Yang Guang Magnesium Powder Factory and Yang Guang Peanut Purchase and Sale Group have developed rapidly and become the main force of Yang Guang's economic development.
The unique advantages attract more investors to pay attention to Yang Guang and enter Yang Guang. Merchants from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen and other places have settled in Yang Guang, lighting up the road of Yang Guang's strong industrial city.
