Zhangjiakou

A Winter Olympics city, with Chongli skiing, the Bashang grasslands and Yuxian's ancient fortresses and paper-cutting each offering their own appeal.

Zhangjiakou lies in northwestern Hebei, where Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia meet. The terrain shifts from the Bashang plateau to the mountains below it, and it was one of the main venues for snow events at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Chongli has several large ski resorts, making it a skiing destination in winter and a cool place for summer hiking; the Bashang grasslands around Zhangbei and Guyuan are beautiful in summer; Nuanquan Ancient Town in Yuxian preserves numerous old fortresses and is famous for paper-cutting and the "tree fireworks" (da shuhua) folk custom; and the city proper has Dajingmen Gate. Reach Zhangjiakou Station or Taizicheng Station on the Beijing–Zhangjiakou high-speed railway; there is also Zhangjiakou Ningyuan Airport.
