Tangshan city is located at the east part of China and it is the neighboring city to Beijing and Tianjin. The city is bordering on Bohai Sea and it is convenient in transportation by land, sea and railway. The city has an area of 13472 square kilometers with a coastal line of 178.5 kilometers. The geography of the city is the hilly land about 300-500 meters above the sea level from northwest and goes slow down to the middle plain of about 50 meters, then to the lower plain and cost of 1.5-10 meters in the south and west, from which one third is hilly land and two thirds is plain.

Tangshan city was firstly developed since the establishment of Kailuan Coal Mine, it is a city with over one hundred years of history in heavy industry. The modern coal shaft, standard-track railway, locomotive, cement and toilet ceramics in China were all firstly manufactured in Tangshan. Caused by the coal mine excavation, about 100 square kilometers land is sinking within the city range, from which an area of 28 square kilometers of sinking land is in the scope of hundred-year-old Tangshan Coal Mine located in Nanhu district in south part of the city. The environment of this land became worse due to the water pollution and garbage disposal. From 1996, the local government started to treat the area for a sustainable environment, by planting trees and grass in Nanhu district of 130 hectares (among which 37.2 hectares are water surface), now this district is built as Nanhu Park with clear water and green trees. By doing this, Tangshan government was awarded Human Environment Award of Hebei Province, the Example Award of Human Environment of China in 2000 and 2003, Dubai International Award for Improving the Human Environment. The Chinese Ministry of Construction named Nanhu district as Nanhu National Wet Land Park in Tangshan.
