Chengde Mountain Resort, Imperial garden complex in Chengde, China.

The Chengde Mountain Resort spans 5.6 square kilometers with lakes, forests, and meadows surrounding numerous palaces and administrative buildings in northeastern Hebei province.

Construction of this summer retreat began in 1703 under the Kangxi Emperor and continued for 89 years through multiple Qing Dynasty rulers.

The complex includes temples that blend Han, Manchu, Mongolian, and Tibetan architectural elements, serving as a center for diplomatic relations with ethnic groups.

Visitors can explore 72 designated locations throughout the resort, including gardens, pagodas, and ceremonial structures connected by walking paths.

The resort features eight lakes that transform into natural ice skating rinks during winter months, while summer brings frequent thundershowers to the mountainous landscape.
