ABOUT · Destination Overview
Hebei, historically known as Yan and Zhao, encircles Beijing and Tianjin, and is the only province in China that encompasses all major landforms: plateaus, mountains, hills, plains, lakes, and coastal areas. The Chengde Mountain Resort is the largest surviving imperial garden in the world; the Jinshanling Great Wall preserves the most exquisite section of the Ming Great Wall; and Beidaihe in Qinhuangdao is a famous coastal summer resort.
The majestic and spectacular Taihang Mountains, the poetic and picturesque reed marshes and lotus ponds of Baiyangdian, and the vast, open Bashang Grassland together form a rich natural landscape belt.
