Hebei

Literally translating as "north of the Yellow River" and only a stone's throw into the country side from the nation's capital Beijing, Hebei Province is filled with hidden treasures that are often not well known due to the attention that its high profile neighbour demands. With a population of 70 Million people, Hebei Province first enjoyed a heightened profile in the 1920's with the discovery of the Zhoukoudian or Homo erectus, the precursor to modern day Human Beings. Bones found at the sit in Hebei may date back as far as half a million years. Hebei is most well known as the home of Chengde – once the Summer Residence and Mountain Resort of the second Qing Emperor in the early 1700's.
