Hebei
Lotus Pond Garden, Baoding, Hebei province, China.
Hebei province experiences a continental climate, and its rainy season occurs during the summer months of June, July, and August. During this period, the region receives a significant portion of its annual precipitation, which generally exceeds 20 inches (500 mm) across most of the province. These summer downpours are significant enough to cause rivers to carry heavy loads of silt, which historically led to widespread flooding in low-lying areas before the implementation of modern water control and conservation projects.12
