Willettsworld Says: Zhengding is located about 15km (9 miles) north of Shijiazhuang and has been an important religious centre for more than 1,000 years, from - at least - the times of the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. It is the founding place of several major schools of Zen Buddhism and the...
Willettsworld Says: This large park is located in the city centre on the corner of Zhongshan Donglu and Jianshe Beidajie. The park features a large lake, bridges and pavilions. I came here in the afternoon after visiting Zhengding and sat by the lakes bank and a group of Chinese students came...
Willettsworld Says: Norman Bethune (1890-1939) was born in Ontario, Canada and in 1938 travelled to Yan'an in the Shanbei region of Shaanxi province in China. There he joined the Chinese Communists led by Mao Zedong in their struggle against the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War. Bethune...
Revolutionary Martyrs' Mausoleum

Willettsworld Says: This vast museum was closed when I visited in July 2008 which was a real shame as it's about the only thing worth visiting in the city. There were some new buildings being built behind the exisiting main museum building and the whole museum is set to re-open in 2010....
Willettsworld Says: This was one of only a few Chairman Mao statues that I saw throughout my time in China. It's located on the main east-west road called Zhongshan Donglu, just south of Chang'an Park.

Hot Just Beefsteak: Radioactive sizzling dishes
Willettsworld Says: This is a steak restaurant that is located just off Zhongshan Rd. It was similar to a few other steak restaurants I had eaten at in China where the steak comes on a sizzling hot-plate that is more like it being radioactive than sizzling. For some reason, this seems to be a...
Willettsworld Says: To get to Zhengding, first take a bus (No. 201) from opposite the train station in Shijiazhuang to a small bus station on the main road in Zhengding (RMB2). Then take a small yellow bus (No.1 - see photo) from the bus station to the Longxing/Dafo Temple which costs RMB1.
Willettsworld Says: The train station in Shijiazhuang is very well located in the centre of the city and I actually stayed in a Home Inn hotel opposite it (see my accomodation tips). The city grow when the railway arrived here in 1905. Trains from this station connect Shijiazhuang with more...

Stopping off point for Zhengding
Shijiazhuang is the capital of the province of Hebei and is located about 283km south-west of Beijing. The city is very modern as it grew from a small town when the Beijing–Wuhan (Hankou) railway came...

The dullest city with 9 million people...ever
Shijiazhuang is a huge dirty city (the dirtiest I've seen, but apparently not the dirtiest in China, therefore the world). It has a few tall buldings but no real life. I was supposed to work here and...

Well, for Chinese standards this is a medium sized city. And it has only 8 million people! Imagine this. But even if it is so large, i haven't found too many interesting things here. Actually, i...
