Prefecture-level city in Heilongjiang, People’s Republic of China
Shuangyashan (simplified Chinese: 双鸭山; traditional Chinese: 雙鴨山; pinyin: Shuāngyāshān) is a coal mining prefecture-level city located in the eastern part Heilongjiang province, People’s Republic of China, bordering Russia’s Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krais to the east. The city’s name means a pair-of-ducks mountains and refers to two peaks northeast of the city.[2] In 2007 the city had a GDP of RMB 20.6 billion with a 14.2% growth rate.
Shuangyashan was given its name in AD 1384 during the Ming Dynasty. However, few people lived in the area before coal was discovered there in 1914. In 1928 a major coal mining operation was established on the site and in 1946 the area was first designated a county. Shuangyashan was established as a special mining district in 1954 and officially designated a city by the CPC Central Committee and State Council in 1956.
