煤炭山(馬來語:Batu Arang)是一座位于马来西亚雪蘭莪州鹅唛县的小镇,距离吉隆坡市区50公里(31英里),可取道万挠路或依约路前往。煤炭山开埠于1913年,英国煤矿公司开始运作是在1915年,在英殖民时期盛产煤矿而曾经成为州内第二繁忙城镇。当年第一批采矿工人,多数是来自沙巴纳闽煤炭场的华裔,以客家人居多。另一些则是从中国南下,因此华人可说是当地的开拓先锋。[2] 煤 was first discovered in the region in 1908, when British authorities found large deposits of coal reserves that could be commercially viable and fuel a railway system. The town was established when the British started mining operations. In 1915, a railway system linking Batu Arang and 轰埠 was built to transport coal to the rest of the country. As coal output and demand increased, rail services to and from Kuala Lumpur expanded. The demand for coal from Batu Arang skyrocketed due to the 第一次世界大战, which led to a reduction of coal imports. The local coal was frequently sold to the railway companies, power stations, tin mines, dredges, and end customers. During 第二次世界大战, in 1942, British authorities halted mining operations, and destroyed the power station and main sub-station as Japanese forces approached Batu Arang. When 马来亚日占时期, they repaired the damaged equipment and hired more people to mine coal. Their mining methods, however, have left a devastating effect on the coal mine because they only focused on surface mining. When Japan surrendered at the end of World War II, Malayan Collieries resumed mining but were faced with problems such as improper mining methods by Japanese, delayed delivery for new equipment, 罷工s, fire, floods, increasing costs, rising coal prices and competition from 石油, which is a cheaper and more attractive fuel. These problems led to the permanent closure of the coal mine on January 30, 1960. After the closure of the mine, many miners and workers moved out of town and many buildings became ruins, the coal mine filled with water, land faced soil erosion, and the railway line from Kuang was dismantled, effectively ended railway service in Batu Arang. Despite this, some residents remained in the town and shops, facilities, and amenities continue to operate. On October 16, 2011, the town celebrated 100 years since its establishment and was granted heritage town status(英语:heritage tourism) to boost economic prospects of its residents and make it one of the most important tourist attractions in Selangor.
