Which Shijiazhuang?

Area

Administrative territory

The official municipal overview gives a rounded citywide area of 15,800 sq km; it is not the continuously built-up urban footprint.

GDP, GDP per capita and the three-industry structure use the 2025 communique scope, which includes Xinji City for these macro indicators. Shijiazhuang is a major north–south and east–west rail, expressway and logistics junction in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region.
