Chengde is approx. 250 km northeast of Beijing. Its moderate climate offered a pleasant change from the imperial capital's summer heat. In 1703, a vacation palace was built in this scenic mountain area. Qing Emperor Kangxi called it the Imperial Summer Resort, or Escaping-the-heat Mountain Villa. On this sightseeing tour you will visit: Putuozongsheng Temple, a replica of Potala Palace in Lhasa, was built by Emperor Qianlong in 1790. Qianlong extended the idea started by his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, to show repect to minority envoys by building replicas of minority architecture. Xumifushou Temple, a replica of Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, was built in honour of the sixth Panchen Lama for his visit to the Qing emperor in 1781. The roof of its largest hall is decorated with eight conspicuous copper dragons.
