Author: Jing Zhang
I have spent many years living, working, and traveling throughout Hebei Province. My experiences range from walking along the Great Wall in Qinhuangdao, to exploring historic temples in Zhengding, and tasting local street food in Shijiazhuang’s night markets. I’ve also enjoyed the quieter corners of Hebei—small towns, traditional festivals, and hidden natural landscapes that many visitors miss. These years of daily life and exploration have given me a deep understanding of Hebei’s culture, history, and people. Through my writing, I want to share these insights with travelers and help them discover both the famous highlights and the hidden gems of this remarkable province.
