Guanghan (; formerly known as Hanchow) is a county-level city under the administration of Deyang in Sichuan province, southwest China, and only 23 kilometres (14 miles) from Chengdu. The predominant industries are tourism, pharmaceuticals and the supply of building material.
Guanghan has an area of 538 km2 (208 sq mi), a population of 626,132, with urban population of 368,933.[1][2] A major part of the tourism is the nearby Sanxingdui ruins. The striking exhibits at the Sanxingdui Museum highlight archaeological finds that some archaeologists regard as even more important than the Terracotta Army.[3]
The region is steadily becoming more industrialised and that is helping with the progression of agriculture and enhances the region's development.
