this should be a disambiguation page, but I'm too lazy to adjust all the links. Feel free to do it and move to Anshan (China). dab (ᛏ) 14:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I am interested in contributing to the Anshan, China page - especially the history and tourism part. Currently, the page talks about the city being fortified and burned down as well as the origin of the town's name (saddle mountain). The saddle mountain is to the south of the modern city. Immediately adjacent to the saddle mountain is a small fortified town which I have been told, locally, is the original Anshan. As I am unable, so far, to verify this I am reluctant to add this information to the page. If anyone else has information pertaining to this I would be grateful if you could share it.

By coincidence, I was out at Tanggangzi spa with a friend tonight and we were discussing this very thing. My friend had visited the extant city walls of the old city just last week. The location is within a park, just after the toll gates on the road form Anshan city to Tanggangzi. There is a second, better preserved, section some distance further on but the location of it was not given accurately. I intend to visit personally some time in the near future. Anshan mountain is south-south-west of the modern city and the old city would be due East of the mountain. I just checked the area on google earth but the resolution in that area isn't high enough to distinguish much of anything.

I last updated this in November 2006 and not allot has been added since. As Wikipedia was blocked form China I couldn't add any more myself. However, I did put greatly expanded articles about Anshan onto Citizendium.org and Wikitravel.org. Now that Wikipedia is available here, things can get improved.
