Fushun is a highly industrialized area. It is connected by rail with nearby Shenyang and with Dalian. Fushun’s enormous open-pit coal mine, which has been in operation since about the 12th century, is now highly mechanized.

Oil deposits, also mined there, are processed in the Fushun oil refineries. Fushun has a major aluminum-reduction plant and factories making automobiles, machinery, chemicals, cement, and rubber. The city was occupied by Russia until 1905 and by Japan until 1945.

Fushun is still known as “the capital of coal”, located 45 km east of Shenyang. It has developed as a thriving center for fuel, power and raw materials but is also offering more and more opportunities in textiles and electronics.
