Province's stunning history, scenery attract visitors

The range, featuring both dense forests and vast grasslands, is currently regarded as a "photographers' paradise" with leaves changing color in autumn and the land covered by snow in winter.

In summer, both Chengde and Weichang are used by tourists as a summer resort to offer an escape from the heat in neighboring Beijing and Tianjin as well as the rest of the country.

Two counties in Hebei-Zunhua and Yixian-were selected by the Qing emperors as the sites of their royal family tombs because of their unique features in feng shui. Feng shui is the name given to a good surrounding environment that is believed to bring good luck to a family, and even a regime.

At the royal tomb sites in Zunhua and Yixian-which are called eastern and western Qing mausoleums, respectively-some of the tomb caves, including that of Cixi, were opened by bandits and robbers in the years following the end of the Qing Dynasty. So today's tourists can enter some of the caves to see for themselves what a royal tomb looks like inside.

In addition to the ancient cultures, the province also has special offerings to cater to the demands of modern-day tourists.

In Zhangjiakou, there are a number of ski resorts. These resorts are among the best in North 皇冠体育app, earning the city the honor of hosting the 2022 Winter Olympic Games together with Beijing.

As the event approaches, services and facilities at the ski sites have been improving constantly, offering more convenience to winter sports enthusiasts.

The province also has many attractive natural landscapes.
