Chengde

With the opening of the high-speed train, you can easily arrive in Chengde from Beijing in just one hour, and it is now possible to take a day trip to visit the World Heritage Sites (Summer Resort, the Eight Outer Temples, etc.).Chengde CityIt is located 230 km northeast of Beijing, in the Yanshan Mountains.Because it is close to Beijing and surrounded by mountains, it is relatively cool in summer, making it the summer palace during the Qing Dynasty, and magnificent buildings such as a mountain resort and the Eight Outer Temples were constructed there.The summer resort (including the Eight Outer Temples) was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1994.With the opening of high-speed trains in January 2021, it became possible to take a day trip from Beijing.Summer resortAlso known as the Chengde Villa or Jehol Palace, it is located north of Chengde city center.Construction began in 1703 (42nd year of the Kangxi era) of the Qing Dynasty and was completed in 1790 (55th year of the Qianlong era). With over 110 buildings on a site of 5.64 million square meters, twice the size of the Summer Palace in Beijing and eight times the size of the Forbidden Palace, it is the largest villa for an emperor in China.It is divided into two parts: the Palace Area and the Garden Area, which is further divided into three parts: the Lake Area, the Plains Area and the Mountain Area.Wenjing Pavilion in the Yuanyuan Scenic Area was formerly the imperial library that housed the Siku Quanshu and the Gujin Tushu Jiuzheng. Together with Wenyuan Pavilion in the Beijing Imperial Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion in the Yuanmingyuan Palace, and Wenshu Pavilion in the Shenyang Imperial Palace, we were collectively known as the "Four Pavilions."Also on the plain is Wanshu Garden, where Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong received kings, nobles, and envoys from various ethnic groups and foreign countries. The garden brings to mind the scenes of emperors hosting banquets and enjoying performances full of ethnic color.The palace area is where the Qing Dynasty emperors spent several months each summer and conducted government affairs. Emperor Jiaqing died here in 1820, and Emperor Xianfeng fled here in 1860 and died the following year.Within the villa, there are the "36 Scenes of Kangxi" designated by Emperor Kangxi and the "36 Scenes of Qianlong" designated by Emperor Qianlong. Each scene changes throughout the four seasons and, together with the eight outer temples surrounding the villa, create a magnificent sight.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0350d120008eidrzf0768_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074161" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="750"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0354q120008eidunm48E5_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074156" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="682"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0351w120008eidtwoDDDD_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074163" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="750"> Eight outer templesThis is the general name for the Tibetan Buddhist temples built by the Qing Dynasty on the east and north sides of the mountain resort. "Outside" means outside the mountain resort, and at the time Tibetan Buddhism had deeply penetrated the Mongolian and Tibetan peoples, and reconciliation of various ethnic groups through Tibetan Buddhism was an important policy for the Qing Dynasty. For this reason, many Tibetan temples were built in this area, and many high priests were invited from Tibet and Mongolia.- Funeiji TempleIt is the northernmost of the eight temples and is also called the Great Buddha Temple because of the large wooden Buddha statue it houses.It was founded in 1755 (the 20th year of the Qianlong era) of the Qing Dynasty.The temple covers an area of ​​23,000 square meters and combines Han and Tibetan temple styles.The Tibetan-style Mahajyon Pavilion is 36.7 meters tall and has six layers of roofs, and houses a standing mud-gold statue of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva. The statue is made of inlaid pine, oak, elm, cedar, and ash, is 22.23 meters tall, has a waist circumference of 15 meters, and weighs approximately 110 tons.It is the largest wooden carved Buddha statue in the world.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0352m120008eidwdr8E88_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074157" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="637"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0352p120008eiduwh2DC7_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074170" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="750"> ─　Puduo Zongcheng TempleIt is located west of the Sumeru Fukuju Shrine.It was founded in 1771 (the 36th year of the Qianlong era) of the Qing Dynasty.It was built to celebrate the 60th birthday of Emperor Qianlong (the 35th year of the Qianlong era) and the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager (the 36th year of the Qianlong era), and to entertain the royals, nobles, and aristocrats of various ethnic groups."Putuo Zongjo" is the Chinese translation of the Tibetan word "Potala," so it is also called Xiao Potala Palace.Construction began in the 32nd year of the Qianlong era (1767) and took more than four years to complete. It was modeled after the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, and is the largest of the Eight Outer Temples.The layout of the temple complex makes use of the terrain, with buildings scattered here and there and gradually increasing in height from south to north, creating a very varied layout.The Daihongdai (red platform) that forms the center of the temple is majestic, measuring 42.5m in height and 59.7m between the pillars at the front, giving the impression of reaching beyond the heavens.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/03517120008eidunqC145_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074158" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="701"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0352o120008eidvthB346_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="5074159" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="562">
