A glimpse of Benxi city in Liaoning province, a traditional iron and steel manufacturing center in Northeast China. The sign erected on top of the buildings reads: Let’s construct China’s “City of Herbs.” Ambitious to develop environmentally-friendly industries, Benxi is now trying to make money through herbs instead of steel.
