Zhangjiakou, Major transportation hub in Hebei, China.
Located 180 kilometers northwest of Beijing, Zhangjiakou extends across 36,800 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 716 meters above sea level.
The city functioned as a military stronghold, protecting northern trade routes between China and Mongolia, leading to its designation as the Northern Gate of Beijing.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway connects both cities in 50 minutes, with multiple daily departures from Beijing South Railway Station.
