Hebei Province is in the north of China, and the provincial capital Shijiazhuang is close to Beijing and Tianjin. It's just an hour by train. The natural scenery of Hebei Province is beautiful. This course will introduce Taihang Mountain, Xingtai Grand Canyon, Beidaihe, Bashang Grassland, and Saihanba Park. There are many historical sites in Hebei Province too. This course will introduce Chengde's "Summer Resort" and "Outer Eight Temples"; Qinhuangdao's "Shanhaiguan" and Shijiazhuang's "Cangyan Mountain's Bridge House”. Hebei also has a rich and distinctive folklore craft. This course will introduce the Tangshan Shadow Play, Yixian Paper-cutting, Da Shuhua, and Wuqiao Acrobatics. Tangshan Shadow Play, made from donkey skin or cowhide, has more than 900 years of history. It is a detailed, lively, and colorful play and the performance is always coordinated and dexterous. Yixian Paper-cutting has more than 200 years of history. Unlike the conventional paper-cutting cut with scissors, the people of Yixian carve with carving knives. When paper-cutting in Yixian, the people draw pictures first, carve, then dye. The beautiful works mainly include opera facial makeups, figures, birds, fishes, insects, etc. Da Shuhua is to heat scrap irons to 1600℃ and then splash them on the wall with a spoon to form dazzling sparks, just like a tree blooming. Hence it is called “Da Shuhua - The tree's flower”. Wuqiao Acrobatics is known all over the country for its superb and thrilling skills. We will watch and enjoy an award-winning performance in this course. Urban life in Hebei Province is also rich and convenient. This course will introduce the nightlife of the young people in Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital. I hope you all like Hebei and China.
