Beijing, the capital of China, is situated at the northern tip of the North China Plain, a vast and fertile lowland. The city itself is located on relatively flat land, surrounded by mountain ranges like the Xishan and Yanshan, which form a protective arc around the city. Major rivers, including the Chaobai, Yongding, and Juma, flow through the municipality, eventually joining the Hai River system. Beijing's climate is a monsoon-influenced humid continental, with hot and humid summers and cold, dry winters. The city's location and surrounding mountains also contribute to unique weather patterns, such as occasional sandstorms in the spring.
