1936 Old photos of Zhangjiakou, Hebei

Today, I want to share with you a group of old photos of Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province in 1936, which were taken by Japanese in the Yadong Prints Collection

Zhangjiakou, also known as“ Zhang Yuan&rdquo& ldquo; Wucheng”, It is a prefecture level city under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province, located in the northwest of Hebei Province, at the junction of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and Mongolia

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhangjiakou was inhabited by Xiongnu and Donghu in the north and Yan and Dai in the south. In the Qin Dynasty, the southern part was changed to Daijun and the northern part to Shanggu. In the Han Dynasty, most of them belonged to the territory of Youzhou, while a small part belonged to Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Xianbei

During the Yuan Dynasty, Zhangjiakou City was all in the province of Zhongshu. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhangjiakou belonged to the capital (Zhishuntianfu, Beijing), except Yuxian, which belonged to Datong Prefecture of Shanxi Province. In the Qing Dynasty, the north belonged to the three halls of Koubei (Duolun Noer Hall, Dushikou Hall and Zhangjiakou Hall) in the north, and the south belonged to Xuanhua Prefecture (governing Xuanhua today) in the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928). Chahar Province was established, and Zhangjiakou was the provincial capital. In November 1952, the organizational system of Chahar Province was abolished. After the merger of Chanan Special District and Chabei Special District, they were called Zhangjiakou Special District, which was under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province. Zhangjiakou City was the administrative office of the special district, and Zhangjiakou City and Xuanhua City were under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province

Now let’s read this group of old photos

张家口大境门，是扼守塞外的重要关口，门楣处著名的“大好河山”四字是察哈尔都统高维岳于1927年书写。

张家口永定河上的清河桥

张家口清河桥始建于1924年，当时叫做通桥。其结构形式为砼墩台，下承式钢架，结构由青岛租界运来的旧铁路桥钢架。桥由中间分隔为上下行，每侧宽仅5米为一车道，道宽11米。1996年4月1日，清河桥（通桥）拆掉，并进行改建。1997年10月1日，清河桥竣工通车。

张家口赐儿山雪景，照片寺庙为云泉寺，建于明洪武二十六年（公元1393年），至今已有600余年，因“白云深处有清泉”之得名。

它是佛、道建在一处的寺庙。上部为道，下部为佛。寺内有子孙娘娘殿，旧时每逢农历四月初八庙会，来此登山焚香祈求 “赐儿” 的人络绎不绝。故称此山为“赐儿山”。
