City Overview
Handan, in southern Hebei where Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan meet, is a 3,000-year-old "home of idioms" (e.g. "imitating the Handan walk") and the ancient Zhao capital. Steel (Hangang) and equipment manufacturing are pillars, with strong agriculture. Cost of living and housing are low; on the Beijing-Guangzhou corridor with easy transport, it is the regional center of southern Hebei, deeply historic.
