The Putuo Zongcheng Temple: The Little Potala Palace

Located just outside the Chengde Mountain Resort, the Putuo Zongcheng Temple is renowned for its grand architectural complex, modeled after Tibet's Potala Palace—hence its nickname, the "Little Potala Palace." The temple's towering red walls and golden-roofed structures stand solemnly under the blue sky and white clouds, showcasing a captivating fusion of Tibetan and Han architectural styles. More than just a symbol of the Qing Dynasty's golden age, this temple also stands as a testament to the harmonious blending of diverse ethnic cultures. #chinatravel#travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #myitinerary #china
