Itinerary
Chengde was once a summer resort, boasting the world's largest Royal Garden, Eight Outer Temples and a Natural Grassland – Mulan Paddock. Emperor Kang Xi (1662-1723) discovered this rare scenic spot during a hunting trip. In the next eighty-five years, Chengde was built into a summer resort and the Emperors usually spend several months a year here to escape summer heat. The palace partially resembles the Forbidden City in Beijing and partially the classic gardens in South China. The Eight Outer Temples (actually twelve temples) was built to show respect minority groups and their beliefs. Among them, Putozongcheng Temple was reminiscent of Potala Palace in Tibet. The whole construction was listed on World Heritage Cutural Sites.

About Beijing
Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.
At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.
Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
