Renqiu (任丘; Rénqiū) is a county-level city in Cangzhou, Hebei, on the flat plains south of Beijing. The city grew around the Huabei Oilfield and remains more industrial than tourist-oriented. Renqiu itself has few major attractions, but it can be used as a base for exploring nearby towns and the eastern side of the Baiyangdian area.

By train
By bus
Long-distance buses run between Renqiu and nearby cities and counties in Hebei. Routes and departure points are not always consistent, so check the latest timetable locally before travelling.
By car
Renqiu has good road links with Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding and Cangzhou. The G45 Daqing–Guangzhou Expressway passes through the area and is useful for trips to nearby towns and the Baiyangdian region.
The city centre is flat, but Renqiu is quite spread out. Buses are useful for getting between the main urban districts, while taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely used for short trips.
