Abstract: The paper briefly reviews the history of restoration of abandoned mining zones in China and in foreign countries. By borrowing the experiences from excellent cases of art parks and scenic parks in developed countries, a tentative plan is proposed to build eco-art parks on feasible abandoned mining zones in China, which can include themes of “land art + tour in industrial and mining area + scenic park + art park”. A case study is made on an abandoned mining zone in west Beijing to demonstrate visually the concept of building an eco-art park. The eco-art park mode aims to renovate the function and application of the industry establishments in the abandoned mining zones through ecological design and vision design, hereby helping mining cities gradually realize a favorable economic, social and cultural cycle in the economic type transfer process.

Key words: Abandoned mining zone, Eco-art Park, Mining zone tour
