Abstract: Weiyuan County in Sichuan Province is a resource-based city once abundant in coal and natural gas. With the gradual depletion of resources,industry transformation and development of new industries have become the major concern. Coal and natural gas exploitation have left Weiyuan County abundant of industrial relics like mineral sites, historical buildings and industrial equipment. From the point of mineral petrology,geotectonic sedimentology and tourism geology,the industrial relics in Wei yuan are of great value in research and teaching and deserve be effectively protected and rationally utilized. However,due to inadequate understanding of the value of industrial relics,many industrial relics have suffered damage of varying degrees. We suggest that the relics be transformed into cultural tourist sites featuring industrial cultivation. The protection can be carried out by designating protected areas, establishing protection systems, and by establishing mineral sample collection and exhibiting centers. The industrial heritages in Weiyuan can also be developed through geological tourism,and industrial cultural tourism, by building industrial culture theme park, and by developing tourist souvenirs featuring industrial heritage.

Key words: geology, Weiyuan County, industrial heritage, coal mine, prospection of oil and gas resources, historical architecture
