沙河市西部丘陵山区的面积占市辖区域的一半以上。多年来,由于地理偏僻、土地贫瘠、水利资源薄弱、道路交通闭塞等因素,经济发展比较缓慢。特别是太行深山区一带,自然条件恶劣,耕种传统、经营单一,物质文明和精神文明程度与城市相比还有很大差距。 The area of ​​western hilly area in Shahe City accounts for more than half of the municipal area. Over the years, due to geographical remoteness, poor soil, water conservancy resources, road traffic congestion and other factors, the economic development is relatively slow. Especially in the area along the Taihang Mountain, the natural conditions are poor. Traditions of farming, management of a single entity, degree of material civilization and spiritual civilization are still quite different from those of cities.
