Redwood furniture and a Liao pagoda on Beijing's doorstep
About Langfang
Langfang lies on the plain midway between Beijing and Tianjin, on the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed line, and Beijing Daxing International Airport sits on its border. It is a working place of factories and furniture markets rather than a sightseeing stop. Sanhe and Dachang, a Hui autonomous county, now run into Beijing's eastern suburbs; Dacheng is known for classical redwood furniture, Xianghe for its furniture markets, and Yongqing keeps the Daxinge Stone Pagoda, a Liao-dynasty tower.
What to eat in Langfang
