Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province, is located in the south of Hebei Province, with a large span from north to south. It is very troublesome for people from Hebei Province to go to Shijiazhuang. Moreover, Hebei Province has two municipalities directly under the Central Government, Beijing and Tianjin. They might as well go to Shijiazhuang, so people in Hebei Province may not have been to Shijiazhuang.

I live in Sichuan, and the capital city is Chengdu. Everyone who knows it knows that Chengdu is the political, economic and cultural center of Sichuan Province, and its position is very important, as are the capital cities of other provinces. This is the responsibility and face of a province. Basically, people in every province have been to the capital cities of their own province, so people go higher.

Of course, the capital cities of some provinces are not the most developed cities, and may be more inclined to other cities in terms of geographical location and policies, such as Fuzhou in Fujian and Jinan in Shandong. These cities are all provincial capitals, but their fame is not as high as other cities in the province.

Do you know the capital city of Hebei Province? Shijiazhuang. Hebei province is a big city with a population of more than 7000 square kilometers. It has a large area. However, if you open the map of Hebei Province, you will find that there is a great span between north and south. There are two municipalities directly under the central government in Hebei Province, namely Beijing and Tianjin. These two cities used to be the capital cities of Hebei province, and later they became municipalities directly under the central government. Therefore, the frequency of changing capital cities in Hebei Province is relatively high, and Baoding has also done it. It's stable now. Shijiazhuang has become the capital city of Hebei Province, but many people in Hebei Province have never been to Shijiazhuang.

Why is this? As can be seen from the map, Shijiazhuang is located in the south of Hebei Province. People from Xingtai City, Handan City and Hengshui City may often go there, but people from Chengde City, Zhangjiakou City and Tangshan City are unlikely to go because it is too far away. They might as well go directly to Beijing and Tianjin, which is closer.

As the capital city, Beijing can better meet the needs of citizens and broaden their horizons, which leads to many people in Hebei Province who may never have been to Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province.
