Hebei Province is located in North China, bordering Bohai Sea in the east, Beijing and Tianjin in the inner ring, Taihang Mountain in the west, Yanshan Mountain in the north, Zhangbei Plateau in the north of Yanshan Mountain, and Hebei Plain in the rest. It is the only province in China with plateaus, mountains, hills, plains, lakes and coasts. Hebei province is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. During the Warring States period, most areas belonged to Zhao and Yan, so Hebei was also called the land of Yan and Zhao. Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, has many historical and cultural heritages and natural landscapes, such as chengde mountain resort, Qing Xiling and Shanhaiguan.
Tianjin, on the other hand, is a municipality directly under the Central Government of the People's Republic of China, a national central city, a megacity, an economic center around the Bohai Sea, the first batch of coastal open cities, a core area of international shipping in the north, a demonstration area of financial innovation and operation, and a pioneer area of reform and opening up. Tianjin is located at the intersection of five tributaries of Haihe River in North China Plain, bordering Bohai Sea in the east and Yanshan Mountain in the north. Haihe River winds through the city and is the mother river of Tianjin. Tianjin was built in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty 1 1 month 2 1 day (1404 65438+February 23). It is the only city in ancient China with an exact record of the time when it was built. After more than 600 years of vicissitudes, Tianjin has created a unique urban landscape that combines Chinese and Western cultures and is compatible with ancient and modern times.
To sum up:
Hebei and Tianjin have their own unique status and characteristics in China's geography, administration and history. Hebei province is famous for its rich natural resources, history and culture, while Tianjin is famous for its unique urban style and economic status. Although they are adjacent, their respective administrative divisions and status are obviously different.
