Ningjin County in the east, Lincheng County in the west, Longyao County in the south, Zhao County and Gaoyi County in the north. East-west width 16.4 km, north-south length of 24.4 km, covering an area of 268 square kilometers. The county people's government is located in Baixiang Town, 70 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital. In the first year of Emperor Hanyuan (33 BC), Zhao Ai was named as the White Elephant, which is also the origin of the name of the White Elephant. 16 (AD 596), Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty established Baixiang County, which was called "Huaiyangfu Town" in history. The white elephant was once the place where Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty ascended the throne. He was an important official in the early Qing Dynasty, Wei Jieke, known as "the ancestor of civil servants in the world and the teacher of three generations of emperors", and the great Si Tuleideng land of the Ming Dynasty. Cultural monuments include the ruins of the ancient city during the Warring States Period, the ruins of the Qianqiu Pavilion in the Han Dynasty, the giant stone Buddha in the Chongguang Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and the monument to Jiamu Jie Zhen inscribed by Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty. Peony, a famous flower in China, which has been circulated for 2000 years, is famous at home and abroad for its flowers as big as a plate, the same plant and different flowers, lifeless in different places and magical legends.

The name of the white elephant first appeared in History of Han Geography, which was the Hou State at that time, that is, the so-called "the name of the white elephant began after the wind in the Han Dynasty" (Zhao Zhouzhi). After three generations, the country was divided, but the old city still exists. According to Li Jifu's Records of Yuanhe County in the Tang Dynasty, "In the sixteenth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, Baixiang County was renamed as Shili in Hannan, hence the name Gubaixiang County." Li's statement about the name of Gubaixiang County is incorrect. Counties without Baixiang in the Han Dynasty and the late Sui Dynasty should be backward countries. The music history of the Song Dynasty noticed this, so it wrote "Taiping Universe", which read: "Take the name of the Han and White Elephants and come from afar."
