Plan a trip to Shijiazhuang

The city of Shijiazhuang is similar to Beijing in that all roads run from north to south and east to west, making the city easy to navigate. Many roads have cycle paths making it cyclist friendly. In the heart of the city is the Hebei Museum, mostly showing traditional Chinese art and artifacts. Shijiazhuang Zoo has 3,000 animals of 250 species including flamingos, monkeys, manchurian tigers, Indian elephants, giraffes, chimpanzees, kangaroos, white tigers, and pandas. Near the Shijiazhuang Zoo are the Botanical Gardens, offering a range of exotic and native plants both to view and purchase. The Martyrs Memorial can be found in the centre of the city, commemorating the soldiers lost in war.
