Chengde has the world's largest royal garden, wooden Buddha and shortest river.

In Chengde, there are many places in the world.

This is a place worth seeing.

Use your eyes to discover and feel the beauty of Chengde.

Every summer I go out for a walk and enjoy the great rivers and mountains of my motherland.

I went to Zhangjiajie and Xiangxi the year before last and experienced the magnificent mountains and rivers of Hunan, the horror of the glass plank road, and the simplicity and purity of Xiangxi.

Last year we visited Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Dunhuang and Zhangye along the Hexi Corridor.

But this year, due to corporate internship tasks, I didn’t have much time to waste, so I had to find a place closer.

So this year’s summer trip was chosen in Chengde, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the capital.

I followed the emperor's footsteps to see the "Summer Resort and the Eight Outer Palaces" of the Summer Palace of the Qing Dynasty.

The first day of itinerary planning: Arrive in the evening. The second day: Summer Resort, Puning Temple, the Kangxi Ceremony of the Jin Dynasty. The third day: Putuo Zongcheng Temple, Xumishan Fushou Temple, Nanyingzi Street Tips: Suitable clothes (very important, morning and evening in Chengde Mountain area

The temperature difference is large, especially when watching the Dynasty show at night), ID ID!

The important things need to be said three times!

Bank card, mobile phone, a small amount of cash.

Accommodation: The most important thing for students when traveling is physical examination (pian) (yi), so I always prefer youth hostels when traveling abroad.

This time we booked a youth hostel, priced at 40 yuan per bed.

A standard room in an express hotel costs three to four hundred yuan everywhere, which is beyond the consumption range of our student party.

Food: Big hotels only look for local snacks.

I recommend a few good ones: Xing Meet You (the first almond product); Lao Ding Mutton Soup (the first mutton soup sesame cake); Muslim Hui (the first picture is fried chicken slices with cabbage); Scissor Face.

At the Summer Resort, I walked out of the youth hostel early in the morning and went straight to "Xing Meet You", which was very popular on reviews, for breakfast. Then, as a netizen said, I bought a discount ticket for the Heyday Dynasty nightclub from his house, and started chatting with them at the Summer Resort.

Visit the summer resort with a tour guide.

It has to be said that the summer resort exists in name only and there is no way to escape summer.

After ten o'clock in the morning, people who are basking in the sun are covered in oil, and people who are not in good physical condition will really suffer from heatstroke. It feels like it is at least 38 or 9 degrees.

I really want to ask Emperor Kangxi: Are you kidding me?

Compared with the Forbidden City here, the palace area where the emperor handled state affairs is extremely simple and devoid of royal style at all.

But its back garden is extremely large. It is estimated that none of the 10 royal gardens in the Forbidden City is as big as a forest in the Summer Resort.

It shows that the emperor still prefers the mountains and rivers here.

Kangxi and Qianlong each mentioned 36 scenic spots in the summer resort.

The thirty-six scenes of Kangxi are all mentioned in four words, and the thirty-six scenes of Qianlong are all mentioned in three words.

What they mentioned together is called the Seventy-Two Scenes of Kangxi and Qianlong.

However, there is much more to the Mountain Resort during its glory days than just these 72 attractions.

It is a pity that most of these scenic spots were destroyed in that turbulent era, and there are not many left.

The distance between the Summer Resort and the Eight Outer Temples is very close.

Looking at the map, there are 12 temples around the Summer Resort from east to north.

However, many travel notes mention that of the eight outer temples, only Puning Temple, Putuo Zongcheng Temple (Little Potala Palace), and Xumi Fushou Temple (Pancheng Palace) are truly worth visiting.

Others have either been destroyed or there is nothing left worth visiting.

Therefore, I only chose to visit these three temples.

To be honest, going to the temple is really a torture for someone like me who has no interest in Buddhism.

Fortunately, the temples in Chengde have beautiful scenery, and the photos taken are quite memorable.

Puning Temple among the Eight Outer Temples; Puning Temple is the only royal temple with incense among the Eight Outer Temples.

There are many lamas wearing Tibetan robes inside.

There are many incense sellers at the entrance and in the scenic area, but we don’t have any incense because we really have no faith.

But in the end, we couldn’t help but donate 10 yuan to Gong’s grand performance: The Kangxi Ceremony of the Jin Dynasty. Chengde is a city where everything seems to be related to the Qing Dynasty emperor.

The scenic spots are made by the emperor, and the delicious food is also eaten by the emperor.

The performance in the evening is also the legendary life of Emperor Kangxi.

I'm thinking that if Emperor Kangxi had not built a summer resort here, Chengde might not have existed.

I didn't plan to watch the show at first, because the ticket price of more than 100 yuan still hurt the hearts of our student party.

However, there really isn’t much to do in Chengde at night.

After arriving here on the first night, I asked the owner of the youth hostel.

It seems like there's really no nightlife other than walking along the river.

In addition, the flight ticket Xinghao booked to meet you was really much cheaper, so I went with bad intentions.

The show proved to be quite worthwhile.

At least the rigid conditions for the number of people dancing under the lights will make you feel that the money is well spent and it is not a scam.

The Little Potala Panchen Lama’s Palace, Putuo Zongcheng Temple, is the official name of the Little Potala Palace.

Because it was built after the Potala Palace in Tibet, people called it the "Little Potala Palace".

I doubt that Emperor Qianlong had never been to Tibet or seen the Potala Palace with his own eyes.

But there must have been many people describing to him how grand the Potala Palace was. They said that Emperor Qianlong felt itchy but couldn't really go, so he ordered a replica to be built in Chengde.

That's what being an emperor is like.
