Chengde, Imperial summer resort in Hebei, China

The Mountain Resort extends over 5.6 square kilometers, featuring palatial buildings, lakes, gardens, pagodas, and temples against a mountain background.

Emperor Kangxi established Chengde as a secondary capital in 1703, transforming it into a center for diplomatic relations with neighboring territories until 1820.

The Putuo Zongcheng Temple combines Tibetan and Chinese architectural elements, reflecting the Qing Dynasty's approach to multi-ethnic governance.

The Beijing-Harbin high-speed railway connects Chengde through five stations, making it accessible from major cities within a few hours.

The Mountain Resort contains 72 distinct locations that replicate famous landscapes from southern China, including miniature versions of temples and gardens.
