Introduction
The Imperial Summer Villa,located in the city of Chengde in northeastern Hebei province,is China’s largest imperial garden.Twice the size of Beijing’s Summer Palace,construction spanned nearly ninety years,beginning under Emperor Kangxi in 1703 and lasting through the greater part of Emperor Qianlong’s reign.The Imperial Summer Villa often saw use as a de facto second capital as Kangxi set a precedent followed by Qianlong and a succession of other Qing emperors of spending much of the year at the garden.In 1994,the Imperial Summer Villa became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Layout
The Imperial Summer Villa covers some 564 hectares featuring well-manicured gardens and over 110 architectural structures surrounded by a 10-km-long outer wall that rises and falls with the surrounding hills.The Imperial Summer Villa can be divided into two sections:a palace section and a garden section.
Palace Section
The palace section is where Qing emperors would dispose of state affairs and live during their stays at the Imperial Summer Villa.
A plaque inscribed with four characters by Emperor Kangxi hangs above the vermilion front gate.Bi Shu Shan Zhuang it reads,or “Mountain Villa to Flee the Summer Heat”.Walking through the gateway,Danbomingcheng comes into view,or the “Hall of Simplicity and Reverence”.The name comes from an ancient Chinese saying roughly translated as,“Only a simple lifestyle can help one realize his true life-goal.” Also known as Nanmu Hall,because it was built with nanny,a fragrant,fine-grained hardwood unique to China,the hall was used by the emperor to carry out official state business.
Behind Danbomingcheng,stands Yanbozhishuang Hall,or “Cool on a Misty Lake” Hall,which was used as the emperor’s living quarters.Today,most of the hall has become a museum with Qing relics and artwork on exhibit.Visitors are rewarded with a glimpse into the lifestyle of Qing royalty.Other famous halls in the palace section include Wanhesongfeng,which stands by the lakeside,encircled by pine trees,and was used as an imperial study,and Songhezhai,which housed the emperor’s mother as well as his concubines.
Garden Section
The garden section can be further divided into a lake section,plains section,and mountain section.
Lake Section
The lake section is north of the palace section and covers about 80 hectares.Unlike the Summer Palace’s Kunming Lake,which is an open expanse of water,the lakes here are smaller,more-complicated,interconnected affairs,and come in a variety of shapes and sizes and feature islets,causeways,bridges,pavilions,etc.One of the most beautiful sites in the lake section is the “Moon Color and River Sound” Islet.When night falls,the surrounding waters shimmer with moonlight.It is so peaceful and picturesque.The lakeside buildings were designed in the style of southern Chinese architecture,and look transplanted from Jiangsu or Zhejiang.
Flatland Section
The flatlands north of the lake section are covered with both grassland and forest.There are no buildings here with the exception of a few Mongolian yurts.The southwest corner of this section was devoted to horse riding.Emperor Qianlong often entertained Mongolian princes here,with barbeque dinners,wrestling,horse racing,and archery.He also hosted grand banquets here for such distinguished guests as the sixth Panchen Lama and envoys from foreign countries.
Mountain Section
Four-fifths of the Imperial Summer Villa is mountainous,sloping down from the northwest to the southeast.The mountain section is merely the most mountainous area.Sites to visit here include the Qingchui Sunset Glow Pavilion,which offers gorgeous views of Qingchui Peak at sunset,which glows under the golden rays of the setting sun.The most breathtaking pavilion of the entire garden is perhaps the Snow Covered South Mountain Pavilion.Located high on a mountain in the garden,it offers panoramic views that include the entire Imperial Summer Villa,much of the surrounding countryside,and downtown Chengde.( Text by Han Yueling and Allen Chai)

Chengde, lying in the northeast of Hebei Province, is close to Beijing, about 230 kilometers (140 miles) away, Tianjin, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao. The topography of Chengde is mainly divided into plateau and mountainous regions, including Yanshan, Yinshan and Qilaotushan mountains, as well as the Luanhe, Liaohe, Chaobaihe and Jiyunhe rivers flowing through the city.
Chengde, originally called Rehe was once the summer resort capital of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It holds rich culture related to this history as well as many historic relics dating as far back as the Neolithic Age in this city. Ethnic groups such as Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qidan, Nvzhen, and Mongolian once led a nomadic existence in this region from the Qin (221BC-206) to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
As one of the first famous historic and cultural cities of the nation, Chengde has plenty of sceneries, with some of them being renowned both at home and abroad. The Mountain Resort and Eight Outer Temples are listed as the world cultural heritage sites, which have contributed towards Chengde being one of famous cities in the world.
Both the internal and the external transportation of Chengde are very well developed and although there is only a small-scale airport, chartered flights flying between Beijing and Chengde will provide you more choices for your journey. In addition, railway and road links can connect you to many cities, such as Tianjin, Shenyang, Baotou, Ulanhot, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia, etc. City buses provide a fine and integrated transport service; taxis are also a good choice due to their convenience and inexpensiveness.
While traveling in Chengde, you will have the opportunity to taste the unique local dishes and snacks, both of royal and folk flavors due to its historical links. Various hotels, rest houses and leisure places will also provide you with comfort and pleasure during your travels in this wondrous city.


By the end of the 17th century the Qing emperors had established their capital at Beijing, and they began to look around for somewhere cool and green to retreat to when the dusty heat of summer set in. They found what they were looking for at Chengde, beyond the Great Wall.
Here they created a summer residence, exploiting mountains, woods and other existing natural features to which they added contrived landscapes to make settings for innumerable pavillions, palaces and temples. Construction took a total of 87 years. The buildings and gardens cover an area of 560 hectares, and are surrounded by a wall 10 km. long.
Outside the palace walls, to the north and west, a total of 11 temples were built. Manyof them were built in Tibetan style. Divided into eight groups, they became known as the Eight Outer Temples. The main gates of these buildings pointed towards the palace, symbolising the unity of China's various ethnic groups under the central rule of the Qing emperors

Chengde Summer Resort
Chengde Summer Resort is in the northern part of Chengde City, Hebei Province. Chengde Imperial Palace, also known as the Rehe Palace, is within the resort. The palace, covering an area of 5.64 million square meters and including 110 buildings with a combined floor space of 100,000 square meters, was where Qing emperors spent their summer days. Work on the palace began in 1703 and was completed in 1792. With a 10-kilometer-long zigzag palace wall, the resort is the largest intact imperial garden and palace in China. It was included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1994.
The Summer Resort has a simple and elegant layout. It was built by the natural mountains and rivers and copying the landscape from southern Jiangsu Province and outside of the Shanhaiguan. The palaces in this large-scale imperial garden were built in a style of quadruple courtyards, with blue bricks and tiles.
There are two parts to the summer resort-the palace itself and a scenic area. The palace was where the emperor lived, handled state affairs and held celebrations or ceremonies. It is made up of the Front Palace(1), the Pine Crane Temple(2), the Pine-Soughing Valleys(3) and the East Palace(4). The scenic area includes a Lake District, a District of Plains and a Mountainous District. The Lake District reflects the landscape of the fish-and-rice villages in southern Jiangsu Province. The Rehe Springs are located in the northeast corner. The western part of the Plain District illustrates a grassland scene from Inner Mongolia while in the eastern part there are ancient trees like the forests of Greater Xingan Mountain. The densely forested mountainous area is on an undulating landscape.
To the northeast of the Summer Resort is a monumental temple complex composed of eight outer temples which were built from 1713to 1789. The temples are Furen Temple(5), Pule Temple(6), Anyuan Tempel(7), Puning Temple(8), Xumi Fushou Temple(9), Putuo Zongcheng Temple(10) and Shuxiang Temple(11). They were built in Han palace style and drew on the architectural styles of ethnic groups such as Mongolian, Tibetan and Ugyur.
The Pule, Puning and Xumi Fushou temples are the main structures of the complex. The Hall of Brightness in the Pule Temple which has a double-eave and doom roof is similar to the Hall of Prayer for Bountiful Harvests at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. In the Hall of the Bodhisattva of the Puning Temple there is a 22.23-meter-high Bodhisattva which has 1,000 armsand 1,000 eyes. The statue weighs 110 tonsandis.
the highest and largest wood statue in the world. Putuo Zongcheng Temple was modeled on the Potala Palace in Lhasa and is famous as Lesser Potala.
