With ice and snow sports becoming Zhangjiakou’s calling card, the city has more to offer.
Zhangjiakou, located in North China’s Hebei Province, lies between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the North China Plain. It is crossed by the Yin Mountains, which divide it into upper and lower zones. Covering a total area of 36,800 square kilometers, it is home to a population of 4.07 million people.
Throughout Chinese history, Zhangjiakou has always been a strategically important location, with the Great Wall winding through its territory. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Zhangku Road, linking Zhangjiakou to Ulaanbaatar, formerly known as Kulun, and extending to Chita in Russia, has been an important channel for commercial and cultural exchanges. It is considered a section of the Grassland Silk Road. Zhangjiakou is also the destination of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which began operation in 1909 and is known as the first independently designed and built railway in China.
