Baoding, Prefecture-level city in Hebei, China

The metropolitan region of Baoding extends across the western edge of the North China Plain, with the Taihang Mountains rising in the western direction.

The city gained strategic importance during the Tang Dynasty as a military headquarters protecting the northeastern frontier against Khitan forces and safeguarding access to Shanxi.

Baoding developed into a center of learning during the Ming and Qing dynasties, establishing numerous educational institutions including the Lianchi Academy, which later transformed into the Hebei Provincial Library.

The city connects to Beijing through express highways and railway lines, with a modern station opened in 2012 providing regular transportation services to major urban centers.

Baoding hosts over 170 renewable energy companies, including Yingli Solar, making it a central location for photovoltaic manufacturing and green technology development in China.
