Province's stunning history, scenery attract visitors

The Taihang Mountains, stretching several hundred kilometers in the west of Hebei, has many imposing landscapes.

Yesanpo, part of Taihang in Laiyuan county, is home to a world geopark, featuring various rock formations and deep canyons.

Some sections of Taihang have steep and even perpendicular cliffs, so they are called the "Taihang Iron Walls". They can offer ideal venues for mountain climbers and other extreme sports enthusiasts.

The Taihong Iron Walls were also a symbol of the Chinese people's strong will to defend their country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45).

The mountain ranges were used as bases for the Communist armies to fight against the Japanese. Many sites relating to the history are now also popular tourist attractions.

Baiyangdian Lake in central Hebei is regarded as the "pearl of North 皇冠体育app" as it is both an ideal habitat for migrant birds and water animals, as well as a popular destination for tourists.

The Xiongan New Area, a nation-level new area recently endorsed by the central government, is on the northern coast of the lake.
