Chengde Mountain Resort Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Construction of the resort began in 1703 and took 89 years to complete, spanning the reigns of the Qing emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. This was the second political center apart from Beijing during the Qing dynasty. The mountain resort is divided into four major areas. On the south side are the palace and lake areas, and on the north side are the mountain and grassland areas. The palace and lake areas house the essence of the mountain resort. The lake area contains many examples of architecture from China’s Jiangnan region just south of the Yangtze River. These are a result of the love the emperors Kangxi and Qianlong had for the Jiangnan scenery.

Chengde Mountain Resort Photos: Trip Moments
Seventy-two Sceneries of the Mountain Resort｜Zhi Path Cloud EmbankmentLocated north of the myriad ravines and pine winds in the Mountain Resort. Built in the 42nd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1703). It is the second scenery of the "Kangxi Thirty-six Sceneries". It is built in imitation of the Su Causeway in West Lake, Hangzhou, with water sandwiched in the embankment, winding and twisting, shaped like the character 'Zhi'. This embankment connects three islands: Huanbi, Moonlight River Sound, and Ruyi Zhou. The embankment runs through the lake and is the main scenic route in the lake area. After summer, walking along the long embankment, you can see the lush greenery, surrounded by layers of beautiful scenery, moving with every step, with a variety of styles and postures, and the willows are slender, very much like the 'Su Causeway in Spring Dawn' in West Lake. When Emperor Kangxi first built the Mountain Resort, he personally measured and designed it when he dredged the lake area. His poem 'Zhi Path Cloud Embankment' says: 'Order the craftsman to open the Zhi Path Embankment first, and follow the mountains and rivers to create a unique layout.' This embankment has the cleverness of managing the overall situation of the scenery in the lake area of the Mountain Resort. The Mountain Resort was first started here, digging ponds and accumulating soil, forming embankments and islands. It should have been the first scenery of the Mountain Resort, but the emperor's sleeping palace is the eldest, and it should be the first scenery, so this place can only be the second.KARA WYATT1

Have you heard of the Chengde Mountain Resort?The Chengde Mountain Resort is truly a royal garden! With every step, there's a beautiful view, it's really gorgeous~ But it's really huge, just casually walking around can be exhausting. The Mountain Resort covers an area of 5.64 million square meters, inheriting and developing the Chinese classical garden philosophy of 'man-made beauty blending with nature'. Making use of the natural terrain, it adapts to the mountains and waters, following nature's course, and is a very creative masterpiece. Palace Area The palace buildings are dense and are a miniature of the Forbidden City, serving as the place for handling state affairs and holding grand ceremonies. It includes the main palace, Songhe Zhai, Wanhe Songfeng, and Donggong, four groups of buildings. The main palace area is now a museum with over 20,000 precious cultural relics. Garden Scenery Area The garden scenery area is divided into the lake area, the plain area, and the mountainous area. Lake Area: The essence of the garden scenery area, where Emperor Kangxi once boasted that 'the natural scenery surpasses that of the West Lake'. Most of the buildings are constructed in imitation of famous sites in the south of the Yangtze River, with the Misty Rain Tower being built in the shape of the one in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. It is also the filming location for the Shuangfang Pavilion in the TV series 'My Fair Princess'. Plain Area: Dominated by grasslands and forests, it is the venue for horse racing events. It includes the Wanshu Garden and the Wenjin Pavilion, one of the four great book collections. Mountainous Area: Occupying four-fifths of the total garden area, it has peaks, lakes, and plains, and now is home to many wild animals, such as deer, pheasants, rabbits, etc. Ticket Prices: Peak season 130 yuan, (April 1st - October 31st) Off-season 90 yuan, (November 1st - March 31st of the following year) Half price for students and the elderly, free for children under 6 and seniors over 70 Opening Hours: April 1st - April 30th 7:30-17:30 May 1st - October 9th 7:00-18:00 October 10th - March 30th of the following year 8:00-17:30 Scenic Area Transportation: Mountain ring car 60 yuan, boat tour 70 yuan, plain sightseeing 40 yuan, three types of vehicle joint ticket 150; mountain ring + plain 120; plain + boat tour 100 Mountain Ring: Four-sided Cloud Mountain (panoramic view of Chengde city area) - Erma Road (overlooking the Little Potala Palace) - Qingfeng Luyu (overlooking the plain area and viewing Panchui Peak), the whole journey takes 1 hour. Boat Tour: Zhijing Yundi - Yue Se Jiang Sheng - Falin Temple - Misty Rain Tower - Rehe Plain Sightseeing Car: Misty Rain Tower - Water Flowing Clouds - Wenjin Pavilion - Wanshu Garden - Liuhe Pagoda - Rehe Spring Tour Tips! ! Check the weather in advance, it doesn't look too good on cloudy days! The mountain ring stops are better photographed with an SLR camera !!

Really practical, here's a guide for visiting the Mountain Resort in Chengde🏆🏆🏆Mountain Resort Built in 1703, it took 89 years to complete across the reigns of Emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It served as a meeting place for the Qing government with foreign envoys and ethnic minorities from the frontiers, and was the second political center of the Qing Dynasty besides Beijing. The resort is divided into four major areas: the palace area and the lake area to the south, and the mountain area and the plain area to the north, with the palace area and the lake area being the essence of the resort. 🎖Palace Area: Upon entering through the main gate of the Mountain Resort (Lizheng Gate), you can see the palace area, so it is usually the first area to visit. Since the Mountain Resort was a place for the Qing government to meet with foreigners, it was built with high standards to receive foreign guests. At the same time, to show traditional virtues of humility and thriftiness in front of foreign guests, the palace area appears simple and generous in its overall layout. However, the materials used for construction are very precious; the main hall, Danbo Jingcheng Hall, is made entirely of nanmu wood, a standard of 'low-key luxury'. 🏅Mountain Area: After visiting the palace area, take the mountain-circling car to tour the mountain area. If time is limited, you can skip the mountain area and head straight to the lake area. The mountain area accounts for about four-fifths of the Mountain Resort, with lush trees and beautiful scenery. From the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the Little Potala Palace in the distance. It is recommended to take a car to tour the mountain area, as it is too large 😅😅😅 🎖Lake Area: The lake area combines the characteristics of Jiangnan architecture with water, yet it is much more magnificent than the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan. The resort has a total of 'Kangxi and Qianlong's 72 Scenic Spots', and it's actually not very likely to visit all 72 spots. Among them, the Yanyu Tower is a must-visit, built to imitate the Yanyu Tower of Jiaxing's South Lake and was one of the filming locations for the TV series 'My Fair Princess'. In the lake area, you can also take a pedal boat ride on the lake. Plain Area: 🏅The western part of the plain area is grassland, centered around the Emperor's horse racing activities at Shimadai; the eastern part is forested, known as Wanshu Garden, which contains Mongolian yurts of different specifications. The plain area also has the royal library Wenzin Pavilion, which once housed the 'Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature', as well as buildings such as Yongyou Temple, Chunhao Xuan, and Suyun Yan. 🔥🔥🔥Discount Policy: Children: Children under 1.2 meters (inclusive) (children must be accompanied by a guardian when entering the scenic area) are free. Students: Full-time undergraduate students and below with a student ID get half price. Elderly: Seniors aged 70 (inclusive) and above with their second-generation ID card, passport, or Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan pass are free; seniors aged 60 (inclusive) to 69 (inclusive) with their second-generation ID card get half price.

Hebei Province blood donors: Free with Hebei Province's honorary blood donation card. 🚙Parking Lot: Reference price: about ¥30/time; Address: 20 Lizhengmen Road, Shuangqiao District, parking lot of the scenic area; In-park Transportation: Charged Restrooms: There are restrooms in the scenic area, located near Dehui Gate, Moonlit River Sounds, Yanyu Tower, Wenzin Pavilion, Mongolian Yurts, Chunhao Xuan, Wanshu Garden, Songhe Zhai, etc., with conspicuous signs.

The Chengde Mountain Resort, also known as the 'Chengde Imperial Outlying Palace', is located at No6 Shanzhuang East Road, Shuangqiao District, Chengde City, Hebei Province. The construction of the Chengde Mountain Resort began on a large scale during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It was built by the Qing emperors to achieve the political purpose of pacifying and uniting the ethnic minorities on China's frontiers and consolidating national unity. The Chengde Mountain Resort is mainly divided into two parts: the palace area and the garden area. The site selection and overall design were based on the characteristics of the terrain and landscape, fully utilizing the natural topography, following the mountains and waters, and going with the flow. It is a masterpiece of creativity that embodies the culmination of ancient Chinese garden and architectural arts. The palace area is located in the southern part of the resort, covering an area of 102,000 square meters. The palace buildings are numerous and orderly, serving as a miniature of the Forbidden City. It includes four groups of buildings: the main palace, Songhe Zhai, Wanhe Songfeng, and the East Palace. The garden area is further divided into the lake area, the plain area, and the mountainous area, with the lake area to the north of the palace area. The layout of the palace area of the Chengde Mountain Resort is rigorous, with simple architecture, while the garden area has a natural and wild charm. The palaces and natural landscapes are harmoniously integrated, achieving a return to nature. The buildings in the garden are not large in scale, and the halls and walls mostly use green bricks, grey tiles, and natural wood, which are elegant, dignified, simple, and moderate. During the reigns of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, they spent about half of each year in Chengde. Important national affairs such as politics, military, ethnic, and foreign affairs in the early Qing period were all handled here. Therefore, the Chengde Mountain Resort also became a secondary capital and the second political center outside Beijing.EpicWanderings#555

When visiting the Yanyu Building, it happened to catch up with the rain, and I understood that the name of the Yanyu Building was very apt. It was really rainy in the rain.

No need to pick up the ticket and scan the code to enter the park. The scenic spot is very large with mountains, water, grasslands and lakes. The transportation is convenient. It is not tired to play. There are many people in the Golden Week on May 1st. It is estimated that it will be very good on weekdays.
I came to Chengde to see the Mountain Resort. I chose to live in the Mountain Resort Hotel. The main entrance of the Mountain Resort is across the road. Li Main Gate. The mountain area can only be viewed by car. There are three stops to facilitate the view of different scenery in Chengde city. This is a panoramic view of Chengde, east and west, north and south, which cannot be seen and photographed on land, and the hammer peak cableway can also be seen. The cruise ship is a large boat that looks at the lake view of the Mountain Resort, supported by pure bamboo rafts. Personally, I think that if you are not tired, you can not take the grassland battery car. You can go to the Wanshuyuan Gate when you come out. The huide Gate I walked is close to the hotel I stayed in. The imprint of history and culture is heavy!
It is very convenient to buy tickets on Trip.com. You can enter the park directly by swiping your ID card at the gate of the scenic spot, saving the time to queue up for tickets on the spot. There are still a lot of tourists during May 1st, but the scenic spot is in good order, and people waiting for the battery car will queue in order. Chengde Mountain Resort is not only a natural scenery, Jiangnan water system, but more importantly, a major historical event in this place, which is very suitable for children to visit.
Although the area of the summer resort is relatively large, the mountain area accounts for a large part. The main attractions are in the lake area and the peace area. These three districts have regional transportation. The round-the-mountain line is 60 yuan for a total of three stops. Each stop is ten minutes to view and take pictures. The plain area is 40 yuan and the lake area cruise is 70 yuan. Personally think that the mountain area can not go, the lake area along the passage is connected to the main attractions of the plain area can be visited, more than half a day is enough, of course, sitting in traffic can save time. The Mountain Resort Museum does not currently collect additional tickets, which is included in the ticket price of the scenic spot, but its official public account is still charged separately, which is really speechless. In addition, for 60 ～ 69-year-olds, the ticket is half price, which is also the characteristic of the northern district... I feel that the management of the scenic spot is not enough. The lion forest of the garden scene imitates the south of the Yangtze River, but it seems to be flooded and blocked most of the area.
Come to Hebei Mountain Resort during the May Day holiday to experience the emperor's resort. It is very beautiful and has historical relics. Chengde's Mountain Resort is really a beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is no better to spend summer here.
