Zhuozhou (Chinese: 涿州; pinyin: Zhuōzhōu; Wade–Giles: Cho1-chou1), is a county-level city with 628,000 inhabitants in central Hebei province, southwest of Beijing. It is administered by Baoding prefecture-level city. Zhuozhou has 3 subdistricts, 6 towns, 5 townships, and 1 development zone.[2]

History

Zhuozhou was the birthplace of Bai Guang in 1921.

In 1928, the city was the site of a fierce battle between the forces of Fengtien clique warlord Chang Tso-lin and those of the Kuomintang's National Revolutionary Army, with the city falling to the Fengtien after eighty-six days of heavy bombardment.

In September 1937, General Count Hisaichi Terauchi, commander-in-chief of the North China Area Army, sent a column of mechanised infantry supported by cavalry to cut the Jinghan railway at Zhuozhou. The area was lightly defended by provincial troops without proper artillery or planes, as the Chinese strategy at the time rested on defending Paoting with better-equipped central government soldiers.[3]

Climate

Zhuozhou is at a high risk of floods. It was heavily impacted by the 2023 China floods, and more than a sixth of the city's 600,000 residents had to evacuate. [4]

Zhuozhou has been described by Hebei communist party secretary Ni Yuefeng as being able to "serve as a moat for the capital" using flood storage and detention areas in the aftermath of flooding in Beijing as a result of Typhoon Doksuri.[5]
