Shijiazhuang (simplified Chinese: 石家庄; traditional Chinese: 石家莊; pinyin: Shíjiāzhuāng, literally, "The Stones' Village") is a prefecture-level city and the capital of Hebei province, China. It is about 320 km south of Beijing. Shijiazhuang is a newly industrialized city. It experienced dramatic growth only after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and was relatively unknown until then.

The scene

Shijiazhuang is also famous for its rock cultures. Several underground rock bands are active in this city, mostly performing in pubs. Two nationwide rock magazines, So Rock! Magazine (我爱摇滚乐) and X-Music Magazine (通俗歌曲) are based in Shijiazhuang and act as major platforms promoting rock music in China.
