Zhengtai Square, it reminds me of the Zhengtai Road mentioned countless times in the anti-Japanese war films!

Zhengtai Square, an open square.
When it comes to the word Zhengtai, what page of history comes up in your mind?
In countless anti-Japanese war films and TV dramas, the Eighth Route Army often mentioned the Zhengtai Railway and Zhengtai Road, which referred to the narrow-gauge railway and highway from Zhengding to Taiyuan.
At that time, the Japanese army invaded North China, and the transportation of materials relied on the Zhengtai Road. My main target to hit the Japanese army was also the Zhengtai Road.
In fact, the starting point of Zhengtai Road is not in Zhengding, but in Shijiazhuang, south of Zhengding. It is precisely because Shijiazhuang is the starting point of the Zhengtai Railway that it has made today's Shijiazhuang city.
The development time of Shijiazhuang is not long, from the beginning of Zhengtai Hotel to the construction of Dashi Bridge, and then to today, it is only a hundred years. People say that Zhengtai Hotel was first, and then Shijiazhuang city. It is true.
So. Come to Shijiazhuang, if you don't see Zhengtai Hotel, and don't walk on Dashi Bridge, have you been to Shijiazhuang?
