Jehol, historically known as Rehe Province, was a former Chinese province and special administrative region located in northern China, north of the Great Wall of China, east of Mongolia, and west of Manchuria. Jehol was a key region for the Qing Dynasty, serving as a summer capital and imperial retreat for emperors, and as a cultural and political hub for interactions with Mongols, Tibetans, and foreign envoys.
