Northern China is widely considered to be the area that Chinese civilization began along the infamous Yellow River that encompasses Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Henan, Hebei and Shandong Provinces through this region. It has been home to many different Empires stretching back several millennias. Northern China has been witness to many invasions from different empires including most notably by the Mongolian Hordes of Genghis Khan and the Manchu Tribes of the Northeast. Northern China has always been an agricultural and industry based economy with many manufacturing and energy plants being built here.

Mandarin is the main native language in northern China. Standard Mandarin is largely based on the Beijing dialect, and serves as the lingua franca for all of China. That said, there are dialectal variations of Mandarin, and these can be hard to understand at times, though if you are fluent in standard Mandarin, asking the other person to speak slowly usually does the trick.
