Is the heat broken? Come to Chengde Mountain Resort to cool off cool~! Chengde Mountain Resort, also known as "Chengde Palace" or "River River Palace" is the place where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty took summer vacations and handled government affairs. The summer resort was built in 1703. It was completed in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties and took 89 years to complete. The Summer Resort is based on the simple and elegant mountain villages. It takes the natural beauty of the landscape and absorbs the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. It has become the largest ancient imperial palace in China. The summer resort is divided into four parts: palace area, lake area, plain area and mountainous area. The whole mountain is rich in water in the southeast and mountainous in the northwest. It is the epitome of China's natural landform and the highest example of Chinese classical garden. The overall structure of the lake area is composed of mountains and waters, water around the island, and the layout of Chinese traditional gardening techniques to form the composition of the fairy world in Chinese mythology. Many groups of buildings are cleverly constructed on the islands, embankments and water surfaces, showing a view of the water town. Most of the scenic buildings in the lake area are modeled after the famous scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River.
