Shijiazhuang
Situated in the mid-south of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang is the province’s capital city, located 250 kilometers from Beijing. It is also a junction area of the railway, highway and postal service.
The city was originally set up in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and used to be the collecting and distributing center for goods to Yan, Zhao and San Jin. It was renowned as "the thoroughfare between the north and south, the throat of Yan (Shandong Province) and Jin (Shanxi Province)," and was once called "Shijia City" and "Shimen City."
Due to its location in the temperate zone, visiting tourists enjoy its continental climate. The four seasons are clearly demarcated with cold winters and hot summers. Shijiazhuang’s annual average temperature is 13 C.
The city is more like a transit point than a place of interest. |
