Although destroyed at the end of the Second World War, the industries were restored to production in 1953, and Ma'anshan grew rapidly under the Communists' first and second Five-Year Plans.

Its climate is similar to other cities in the Yangtze River Delta, with lower humidity that makes its summers and winters less extreme.

With the advanced manufacturing infrastructure and fast transportation link, Ma'anshan has received much investment in many industries.

By road, Ma'anshan is connected with highways to Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Hefei and Wuhu.
