Panzhihua is a prefecture-level city located in Sichuan Province, south central China, on the confluence of the Jinsha and Yalong Rivers. Panzhihua is a treasure of natural resources, but remained a wasteland until 1960. It was founded on a remote headwater of the Yangtze River in 1966 as a steel production center. It grew rapidly as it remained relatively prosperous while the rest of the country was undergoing the Cultural Revolution. The city is home to the Panzhihua Iron and Steel (Group) Co, called "Pangang" the leading steel company in southwest china. There remains a reminant population of the ancient cycad forests which were once home to the giant panda. The area has a subtropical climate.
