Morphology

Hebei + province

The phrase is a straightforward proper-name + noun construction: knowing 'Hebei' (a place name) and 'province' (an administrative region) lets a learner infer it denotes the province called Hebei. This compositional naming pattern is common across languages, so the meaning is directly derivable for B1 learners who know the constituents.

Etymology

Hebei province comes from Chinese words: He meaning 'river' and bei meaning 'north'. So the name simply says the province is 'north of the river'.
