Things to do in Chengde County

Suitable for family walks, outings, and leisurely strolls. It was a bit hot during August, the summer peak season; the evenings were cool, but the days were still very sunny and hot. The scenery was beautiful, but it was very crowded, as it's a famous tourist attraction.

The Potala Palace, also known as the "Little Potala Palace," is located in Chengde, Hebei Province. It is a royal temple built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, modeled after the Potala Palace in Tibet. It is also the largest of the Eight Outer Temples of Chengde.

Tangjiawan through bus is so good. I used to worry about driving and finding the way to Tangjiawan. Now with the through bus, it’s like a new world! You don’t have to check the route yourself or fight for a parking space. You can get on the bus at your doorstep and go directly to the scenic spot. It’s a one-stop round trip. You don’t have to worry about the route. It’s a worry-free trip. The bus leaves every day and doesn’t wait for anyone. It’s pure fun without routines. You can chat with your friends on the way. You will reach your destination before you know it.

There is no combined ticket for this attraction. You can book tickets separately on the platform. You don't need to pick up the tickets; just swipe your card to enter. Since it's not peak season, the attraction isn't crowded, so you don't need to hire a guide. You can just wander around on your own. Some of the scenery inside is quite photogenic.

Great place, actually a great campsite, fully equipped.

I have recently visited Universal Beijing. We had an absolutely amazing time at Universal Beijing Resort! The attention to detail in each themed land is incredible — the Wizarding World of Harry Potter felt like stepping straight into the movies, and the Minion Land was a wonderful place. The rides are thrilling, the shows are spectacular, and there are so many photo spots you’ll never run out of great shots. The park is huge and you need a lot of time to see it all. Highly recommend, especially if you want to visit all places to come earlier.“Universal Beijing Resort is the best theme park with fantastic theming and a great variety of attractions. The Harry Potter area is definitely a must‑visit. It is like a fairytale. You may taste here baked pies with fruits and meat. It’s so delicious 🤤 Some people are wearing fancy dresses here. It is magnificent. There are a lot of people here but everyone can find here something special, it is unforgettable place. You should visit it one day

Teacher Zhou, the scholar, is highly recommended! The atmosphere is amazing, with red walls and yellow tiles. Walking along the central axis, you get a strong sense of the grandeur of an ancient palace. Every photo you take will turn out great, even without filters.

It's was very crowded place, make sure you get there as early as possible. Avoid Monday if possible (as all other attractions are closed everyone is going to Badaling to see the Great Wall - so it will get very crowded.

张洋导游讲解的非常好！All visitors should book the national Museum of China trip. It is not easy to book on your own, book through Trip.com and have a guide to share the history with you..

It's definitely worth a visit. The cable car ride up and down the mountain is very pleasant. I recommend taking the cable car up; this open-air chairlift is quite unique, soaring through the pine forest and offering ever-changing views. Reaching the summit viewing platform offers the best panoramic view of Chengde: the Wulie River meanders, the forests of the Mountain Resort and the golden roof of the Putuo Temple unfold before your eyes, with distant mountains layered upon each other, providing a wide and expansive vista. Nearby, there's also a lifelike toad-shaped rock, and hidden in the mountains are the Baoshan Temple cliff carvings, rich in cultural details.
