The magnificent squares tell its breadth of vision; the blue water is rippled with its tenderness; the straight roads are extending far and wide toward its hopes; strings of fountains are singing the happy life of the people; the exquisite sculptures record the history of this provincial capital. 15 kilometers north of Shijiazhuang is a state class famous historical and cultural city, Zhengding. This ancient city is noted for nine towers, four pagodas, eight temples and 24 golden memorial archways. The Buddhist temples and pagodas and inscribed tablets all carry the dignified cultural background.

It is a master-piece of wood-working art made in the 10th century. There is a 1,438 meter long historical and cultural street in Zhengding, a comprehensive scenic spot that has multiple functions of sight-seeing, film and video recording, shopping and pleasure seeking. The Zhaozhou Bridge is a wonder in the history of bridge building in the world. From 1,400 years ago to the present day, the bridge has withstood eight major earthquakes and the wash by numerous floods and it remains as solid as if it is newly built. This is Bolin Buddhist temple in Zhaoxian, the most ancient Buddhist temple in Shijiazhuang. According to historical record, the famous Buddhist scripture translator Master Xuanzhuang, or Tang Seng, Monk of the Tang Dynasty as we often say, studied Buddhist scriptures for six months here before setting out on his way to India in quest of Buddhist scriptures. The first Chinese Emperor of China died of illness in Shaqiu of Hebei Province on the way of his fifth inspection tour more than 2,000 years ago. Zhao Gao and Li Si and their company used a cooling cart to carry the remains of Qin Shi Huang across the Taihang Mountains here westward to Chang'an. In Xibaipo, the first generation of the central collective leadership of New China did a lot of work for the birth of New China. In 1988, General Huang Zhen wrote an inscription there: New China comes from here.” Our journey of the “sacred place tour” also starts from here. This place is known at home and abroad in that the founders of New China worked and lived here. Now more than half a century has passed just like a glimpse of the eye. Seeing the objects reminded us of the owners. Everything here seems never changed. Despite the wash of time, people have never forgotten about this place. Instead, they have added bricks and tiles, planted trees and flowers, making it anew. There is a story behind every courtyard, every room, and every piece of furniture here. To the northwest of Xibaipo, there is a small mountain village, called Gunlonggou. It used to be a place where the Xinhua News Agency was located. Numerous sons and daughters of the Chinese nation have sacrificed their youth and lives for the cause of independence of the state and liberation of the Chinese people. Group after group of foreign friends upholding justice, too, dedicated their youthful lives to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people. This is the Memorial Hall of Norman Bethune in the North China Mausoleum for Martyrs. Norman Bethune is remembered not only by the Chinese people but also remembered and respected by people of all countries in the world. Mao Zedong wrote the article “In Memory of Norman Bethune” in eulogy of his heroic deeds. Opposite to the tomb of Norman Bethune is the tomb of Dr.D.S.Kotnis. He was a great internationalist fighter. Tainhang Mountains extend a thousand li, stretching and undulating, grand, magnificent and beautiful, just like a green giant dragon lying on the North China Plain. “Going in for green and returning to nature” is the most faddish term nowadays. The Cangyan Mountain, Zhangshiyan, Tianguishan are offsets of the Taihang Mountains, the green screen of the people of Shijiazhuang and the best leisure and tourism destination. The magic of Baoduzhai lies in its precipitousness. It is a lonely ridge with hanging cliffs on the four sides, but on the top is an enchanting scene with dense willow trees and bright flowers, just like a heaven of peace and happiness. Baoduzhai has both the tranquil ancient flavor and the breath of the modern times. The structure groups and sculptures have developed their own features by drawing on the strong points of others. “The hall is lit not by lamps but the moon; the mountain gate is not locked but awaiting the sealing by the clouds.” This is a poem left by an ancient man of letters to describe the beauty of Cangyanshan. The Zhangshiyan is as famous as Cangyanshan. It is a state class scenic spot in the Zanhuan County. The Zhangshiyan has five major scenic areas. Jiu Nu Feng or Nine Fairy Peak is a signature of the Zhangshiyan Scenic Zone. There are range upon range of hills and a vast sea of green forests in the south and grotesque peaks rise one upon another and oddly-shaped stones are like a stone forest in the north , these are the unique scenes of Tiangui Mountains.

Shijiazhuang is a fairy primrose on this land of the Kingdoms of Yan and Zhao. It is decorating its beautiful home with its grace and composure to greet friends and guests coming from the four seas.
