Anxin County is located in the central part of China's Hebei Province, part of the Xiongan New Area, and in the heart of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, where most of the waters of Baiyangdian are located. The area is known for its waterfront ecology and history and culture, and is an important wetland ecosystem and tourist destination in the North China Plain. Anxin's economy is based on agriculture, fisheries and tourism, and is transforming into a model area for green innovation and sustainable development as the construction of the Xiongan New Area accelerates in recent years.
Anxin County is bordered by Xiong County to the east and Baoding City to the west, with Baiyangdian covering most of its area and possessing rich water resources and biodiversity. It has a temperate continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and a unique lake landscape, which is known as the "Kidney of North China" and is crucial to the ecological balance of the region.
Anxin County has a long history of traditional fishing and hunting culture and red revolutionary memorial sites (such as the background of the story of Little Soldier Zhang Ga). The Baiyangdian scenic area attracts a large number of tourists, offering boat cruises, bird watching and lotus garden experiences, and is particularly famous for its summer lotus festival. Local specialties include whole fish banquets and lotus root products, a blend of northern water town folklore.
With the implementation of the national strategy of Xiongan New Area, Anxin County is focusing on ecological protection, high-tech industries and smart city construction, gradually shifting from traditional agriculture to a green economy, and continuing to optimize its infrastructure and investment environment, with significant future potential.
