Covering an area of 120 square km, the hangshiyan Scenic Area is located at the southwest of Zanhuang County, Hebei Province, 100 km from Shijiazhuang City.

The Zhangshiyan Scenic Area is a range of screen-like mountains with high peaks, where the peaks and the foot of the mountains are covered in greenery. The whole landscape embodies a certain magnificence, awe, beauty and serenity. The highest peak is Huangannao, which is 1,774 meters above sea level.

The ridges and peaks of the Zhangshiyan Scenic Area are a magnificent sight. The third-grade great fault cliffs are extremely precipitous and majestic. The peaks and precipices, each with its own characteristics and strong points, amount to 72 mountains and 36 precipices. The natural echo precipice is stunning; with its articulation of echoes it ranks first in China -- something that is seldom seen in the world. Here, two ridges and one valley make up one complete "set", with a total of 24 sets, where the bigger ones appear  grandiose and the smaller ones, delicate. In each set, there are deep woods and innumerable mountains and valleys with strange stones and springs pouring down from among them.

The Zhangshiyan Scenic Area boasts many ponds and springs that contras well with each other, and well-connected waterfalls and streams. There are mainly three ponds -- Black Dragon, Small Dragon and the Fishing Terrace; two man-made lakes -- Crescent Moon Lake and Tamed Dragon Lake; and 10 springs and five waterfalls. The springs include Huai Pond, Zhangnan Pond, Xianren Pond and Tianchi Pond. Each of the springs has its own features, with some flowing out of the cliffs like a white ribbon, while others are ejected from the earth like a golden thread or precious beads; some drop down from the cliffs along the stalactite.
