     East of Taiyüan, on the railroad leading to Shihkiachwang, is the city of Yangchüan, situated in a coal and iron-ore mining area. Just south of Yangchüan is the ancient Chinese ironworking center of Pingting. This was superseded in modern times by the railroad town of Yangchüan, where the Paochin company erected a small blast furnace before the First World War. A new power transmission line links Taiyüan and Yangchüan.

     Shouyang has grown to be quite a big town, and Yangchuan, when we got to it, a sizable modern city. The road between Shouyang and Yangchuan was blocked in several places as loess was being brought down from above to fill in a big area of valley land, in which the river has been put between two high stone dykes so that stony waste river-bed could be reclaimed. Emerging from Yangchuan, a big road-widening project was under way.]
