The Mountain Resort was the summer retreat for some of the Qing Emporers and it&#39;s scale and beauty definitely speaks of power of the Qing at its height. There is the Palace area which is now a museum with an extre fee to enter, however it is probably worth it. The there is the lakes area which are one of the best parts. Artificial islands house pavilions and palaces which are great for walking around and then having a rest in the shade. To the right of the lakes is the plains area showing the manchurian heritage of the Qing dynasty. This area if just grassland, but at the end there are some Mongolian yurts and a tall pagoda. Then there is the mountain area which takes up most of the space of the resort. This area is sometimes closed (late winter and spring), but the tour bus that races around the mountains is definitely worth it. There are many areas in which you can get off, with the highlight probably being the view of the &#39;mini potala palace&#39; from the wall. Definitely worthy of its designation as a world heritage site, and worth going, despite the rather steep price (at least for Chinese standards).

In today&#39;s cool weather of 13 degrees, I arrived at Chengde Mountain Resort, the fresh air after the rain filled the park. Walking in the green mountains and forests, the patter of light rain gently on the cheeks, making this royal garden more mysterious and charming. Exploring every corner, as if crossing the historical corridor, feel its unique charm. The traces of history blend with the harmony of nature, and each scene is like a beautiful picture. During the tour, you can hear the guide explaining the historical origins of the place, so that you can understand the value of this cultural heritage. Although the weather is slightly gloomy, this does not reduce the enthusiasm of tourists, on the contrary, it is more the mysterious charm of the garden. Whether it is to trace history or relax, Chengde Mountain Resort is a place worth visiting. Looking forward to coming back next time to explore more beauty and surprises.
