3 days in Chengde Itinerary

Dominated by an extraordinary, UNESCO-protected red and white palace complex sprawling up the mountainside, Chengde remains a summer resort fit for royalty.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Panjiakou Reservoir and Maojing Dam Forest Park. There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at Eight Outer Temples, get outside with Eight Outer Temples in The Bishu Villa, delve into the distant past at Xumi Fushou Temple, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Potala Palace (Putuo Zongcheng Temple).
