Jingxing County

Jingxing County (simplified Chinese: 井陉县; traditional Chinese: 井陘縣; pinyin: Jǐngxíng Xiàn; lit. 'Well Border') is a county of Hebei Province, NorthChina, under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Shijiazhuang, the capital of the province.

When King Mu of Zhou went hunting in the region, he described the terrain as "the surrounding is high while the center is deep, like a well, [making the region] resemble the border of a stove", hence the name of the county.

According to archeological discoveries, there were inhabitants settled in Dongyuan Village (東元村) during the Stone Age.
