Hebei

Hebei covers 78,200 square miles of diverse terrain, including the Taihang Mountains in the west and the North China Plain in the south, with borders reaching the Bohai Sea.

The region functioned as a northern defense zone during imperial times, with sections of the Great Wall of China built across its mountainous territories.

The regional cuisine centers on wheat-based foods, while the traditional Pingju opera and Ding ceramics represent the local artistic expressions.

The eleven prefecture divisions contain an extensive transportation network connecting major cities through railways, highways, and Zhengding International Airport.

This province completely surrounds two independent municipalities, Beijing and Tianjin, creating a distinctive administrative geography in China.
