About Shijiazhuang City:
The city of Shijiazhuang is the provincial capital of Hebei located 170 miles (2 hours by train) southwest of Beijing with a population of around 10 million people.
Shijiazhuang is a modern and vibrant city offering foreigners the real Chinese experience - the city only has but a few foreigners. Most of the people here speak Mandarin Chinese, so living in Shijiazhuang provides foreigners with an excellent opportunity to be immersed in the language.
Shijiazhuang is in the heart of northern China and just a short distance from Beijing, Xi'an and Qingdao. The city centre is rapidly growing while the surrounding area offers mountains, Buddhist temples and fabulous scenery. The ancient walled city of Pingyao and the sacred Mount Tai are just a short and cheap train journey away. Mount Cangyan is famous for its appearance in the movie "Hidden Tiger Leaping Dragon".
For the more frugal minded, you will be pleased to know the cost of living in Shijiazhuang is incredibly low compared with other cities in China. Fresh produce is cheap to buy from street markets and if you'd rather eat at a restaurant than cook at home, there are restaurants all over the city which are very reasonably priced.
There are several bars and pubs and dance clubs in the city plus Shijiazhuang has several 24-hour restaurants. One of the best parts of the summer is the street restaurants - people set up barbeque pits along the streets and you can sit and eat and drink late into the evening. Shijiazhuang also has several beer gardens throughout the summer.
