June 3, as one of the first batch of environmental protection facilities in the national building materials industry to open to the public, Tangshan Qixin Cement Industry Museum carried out a public open day relying on the theme activity of "Six Zero Green Building Materials Day." The activity integrated multiple forms including historical tracing, live-scene exhibition, and green popular science, comprehensively displaying the transformation and upgrading process of the century-old cement industry, helping the public closely understand the low-carbon transformation achievements of the building materials industry, and intuitively feeling the new style and features of the industry's high-quality development.
It is reported that the "Six Zero Green Building Materials Day" is an important brand activity in the building materials industry, which was officially launched in Beijing in 2023. Through three years of deep cultivation, the activity has centered around the "Six Zero" green development vision, leading the green and low-carbon transformation of the entire industry, optimizing the industrial landscape, and breaking the public's stereotypical impression of the traditional building materials industry. At present, this activity has become an important platform for the building materials industry to practice green development and build benign interaction among government, enterprises, and society.
As one of the initiating units of the activity, BBMG Group actively responded to the national "Dual Carbon" strategy and the deployment of Beautiful China construction, taking the public open day activity of the Qixin Museum as an important window to inherit industrial cultural context, demonstrate state-owned enterprise responsibility, and spread green concepts.
This open day attracted numerous citizens, industry practitioners, and people from all walks of life to visit. The activity site was orderly and filled with a strong atmosphere; visitors stopped to observe industrial relics, listened attentively to popular science explanations, and engaged in interactive consultations regarding industry knowledge, exploring the industrial green development process in an immersive way. The five rotary kiln production lines and over a hundred precious industrial exhibits completely preserved in the museum linked together the development lineage of China's modern cement industry.
The century-old flame continues, and green empowerment brings new life. Qixin Cement has witnessed the germination and rise of China's building materials industry, and today's Qixin Museum shoulders a brand-new mission of the era. The green transformation of the building materials industry is not cold industrial data, but a real transformation integrated into urban construction and benefiting people's livelihood and lives, and a vivid practice of iterative upgrading of traditional industry and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Standing at the brand-new development starting point of 2026, Tangshan Qixin Cement Industry Museum will continuously shoulder the triple mission of historical inheritance, green popular science, and social responsibility, polishing the open brand of "Six Zero Green Building Materials Day." In the future, it will regularize activities such as public openness, popular science lectures, and industrial culture promotion, narrowing the distance between the public and the building materials industry, enhancing the public's cognition and identification of green building materials, and continuously empowering the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development of the building materials industry with new vitality of the century-old industry.
Tangshan Qixin Cement Industry Museum is the first museum in China with cement industry as its theme. It was updated and reconstructed from the core area of Qixin Cement Plant, the birthplace of China's cement industry. It is a cultural and tourism industry project vigorously built by BBMG Group to practice the social responsibility of a state-owned enterprise and promote organic urban renewal. The museum park covers a total area of 115.06 mu, of which the construction area is 67,900 square meters. With the original history and cement industrial style as the background, and with historical and cultural scenario experience, designer collective stores, trendy sports culture, and creative offices as the core, the park completely preserves the rustic sensory feel and highly layered architectural distribution forms of the cement plant building cluster, forming an overall pattern of "three museums and one park." It is a representative model case of modern Chinese industrial museum construction, retrofitting and utilizing old factories, and reviving and regenerating old buildings. Qixin Museum actively promotes functional improvement, style optimization, and business format upgrading, and has won honors such as National-Level Tourism and Leisure Block, National Industrial Heritage, National Industrial Tourism Demonstration Base, National 4A-Level Tourist Attraction, and Hebei Provincial Patriotism Education Base.
In the Cement Exhibition Hall, tourists can visit the earliest existing cement rotary kiln and the first registered cement trademark in China, and watch the legendary story of the century-old Qixin Cement in an immersive way via naked-eye 3D; transformed from China's earliest thermal power plant, the Electricity Technology Museum is an educational study and travel base integrating popular science, education, and experience. Through study courses and practical activities, it can cultivate students' hands-on abilities, innovative consciousness, and problem-solving abilities; in the 1889 Nostalgia Experience Hall, one can view exhibits rich in the development history of Tangshan's light industry and chronological changes, such as Qixin ceramics and old Tangshan objects.
