Fengning Manchu Autonomous County (; Manchu:) is a Manchu autonomous county of northern Hebei province, bordering Beijing to the southwest and Inner Mongolia to the north, and lying under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Chengde.
It is the second-largest county of Hebei in terms of area, after the neighbouring Weichang Manchu and Mongol Autonomous County.
The one child policy was firmly implemented on Manchus in Fengning Manchu Autonomous County in Hebei where a rural Manchu farmer in 2009 reported he was only allowed to have one child.[2] [3]
The county has 1 subdistrict, 11 towns and 15 townships under its administration.[4]

Fossil-bearing rocks of the Mesozoic Huajiying Formation and/or Yixian Formation occur on the surface. The prehistoric bird Paraprotopteryx was found in such a deposit.
Fengning has a rather dry, monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa), with long, very cold and dry winters, and hot, humid summers, and the elevation depresses temperatures. The monthly 24-hour mean temperature in January is NaN°C, and in July it is 22.6°C, while the annual mean is 7.2°C. More than half of the annual precipitation occurs in July and August alone.
The county draws in many tourists as the Bashang Grasslands in the far north of the county is the nearest grasslands to Beijing.[5] The cultivation of a local tourism is part of a broader regional development policy to support tourism as a primary industry in the Chengde area due to the environmentally friendly character of the industry going well with the goal of preserving the Chengde area's pristine environment, especially compared to the pollution problems besetting the rest of Hebei and also Beijing and Tianjin.[5]
The county's primary tourist attraction are the horse ranches in the Datan grassland. Other highlights are the Dahan Palace of Genghis Khan and the Baiyun Ancient Cave.[5] The height of the tourism season is in July and August when there are bonfire festivities filled with ethnic songs and dances, roasted whole lamb, and staged traditional sporting events like wrestling and archery.[5]
Both China National Highway 111 and 112 pass through the county, with the former providing direct access to Beijing.
