Hebei Attractions

 
Hebei province lies on the Gulf of Bo Hai in northern China, between 113°27' and 119°53'E and 36°04' and 42°37'N. Beijing and Tientsin lie within this province. It obtains its name from its geographical position - Hebei actually means ''north of the river'', namely the Huanghe.

Some 60 per cent of the total area is accounted for by the mountain ranges scattered over the north and west of the province, the remaining 40 per cent being taken up by the fertile, alluvial Hebei Plain. Most of Hebei lies within the catchment area of the Haihe river.
