“Where is the license plate of Ji A?” This question may get the following answers:

“Tianjin?”

“…Baoding?”

“Ji? Where is Ji?”

The status of Shijiazhuang is self-evident.

In the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” segment at Station B, Zhao Zilong showed up, and a large joking “I am Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong” flew across the screen-as if “Shijiazhuang” was used instead of “Changshan”(Changshan County, Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City), the momentum suddenly became shorter. Under the strong light of Beijing and Tianjin, this super-large city, which is slightly smaller than Beijing and ranks 8th in population in the country, has become a “black under the lamp”. Together with its magnificent rivers and mountains and human treasures, it is hidden in ” The most inexistent provincial capital city” is ridiculing.

1. Shijiazhuang, the first city of Taihangshan Middle Road

Compared to the many brothers and sisters in the province-Baoding, the core of Gyeonggi, Handan, a historical city, Tangshan, an important economic town, Chengde, the “back garden of the capital”, Zhangjiakou, the “grassland road”, etc., flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and developed in industry Shijiazhuang, the immigrant city, seemed a little lackluster. At the beginning of the 20th century, the railway, like a river, transported a lot of nutrients to the small villages then and today’s “International Village”.

Although it was a smash hit in the industrial age, Shijiazhuang has also been labeled as “no background” and “nouveau riche.” With the expansion of the city’s jurisdiction, the history behind this slightly rustic name is also enriched, and it is connected with the deep blood of Yanzhao.

1. Who said there is no nature in Shijiazhuang?

From the map, Shijiazhuang, located in the south-central part of Hebei Province, can be called “mountain and water”. Like Beijing, Shijiazhuang is high in the west and low in the east, on the Taihang Mountains in the west, and into the North China Plain in the east. Higher in the west, the Haihe River originating from the Loess Plateau rushes eastward. Dozens of tributaries cut across the Taihang Mountains, forming a series of rich alluvial fans on the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains. The Hutuo River, known as the “Little Yellow River”, rolls across the north of Shijiazhuang City.

Although there is no famous scenery, Shijiazhuang has the magnificence of great mountains and rivers. To the northwest, there is Wuyuezhai, the “Zhong Wuyue Show”, with an astonishing 98% forest coverage. It is considered the best preserved forest in the Taihang Mountains.>
