6 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.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Mountain Resort' is a must-visit attraction for tourists visiting Chengde for the first time. As the largest existing royal garden in China, it is eight times the size of the Beijing Forbidden City and was the place where the Qing emperors spent their summers and handled state affairs. It was started in 1703 (the 42nd year of Kangxi) and took 89 years to complete through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. Many significant historical events in China have taken place here. The architecture itself inherits the tradition of Chinese classical gardens and is an outstanding example of natural landscape gardens. Among them, Qianlong built 36 representative buildings in the Mountain Resort. This tour route selected some of the 'Qianlong's Thirty-Six Sceneries'. For example, the Smoke and Rain Building and the Lion Forest of Wenyuan, which mimic the architecture of Jiangnan gardens, or the Four Knowledge Book House used by the emperor to meet ministers and worship Buddha. There are also many worthwhile cultural relics in the Mountain Resort Museum. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were not many tourists, the climate was pleasant, and the roads here were flatter than those in the Beijing Summer Palace, making it easier to walk. Overall, the visit was very good 👍🏼 However, I personally think it is better to reserve enough time.

You should come to the grasslands to experience the endless expanse and freedom. Standing amidst the green waves, it feels as if the whole world has become vast and boundless, broadening one's horizons and forgetting all troubles. When the first rays of sunlight fall on the grasslands, the golden light interweaves with the green grass, creating a beautiful tapestry. You can hear the distant calls of cattle and sheep, and feel the gentle breeze blowing across the grassland. At this moment, sit down, brew a pot of tea, and quietly enjoy this peaceful and beautiful time. The average cost is over 1000+, including food, accommodation, and transportation, with no need for planning. Click on the profile picture to unlock the Chengde Grassland trip.
