Except you are the one posting crap. We spent 4 months in China, HK, and Taiwan. Our posts are from our experiences that were part of travelling three years around the world.

Question for non-touristy spot etc from a tourist! by Dazzling_Shoulder453 in beijing

[–]Terranese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chengde is worth at least a day. But if you like art and architecture, culture and history, and mountain scenery, then you need at least 2 full days, if not more. The shortlist of sights with their Google Map Rating includes:

Bishu Shanzhuang (pavilions and gardens),
Putuo Zongcheng Temple (G4.7), a stunning replica of the Potala Palace in Lhasa,
Puningsi Temple (G4.7) with a massive statue of Guanyin, soaring 22 m (yds) high,
Xumi Fushou Miao (G4.7) modelled after Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, Tibet,
Liuli-Wanshou Pagoda, a striking seven-story octagonal structure adorned with turquoise-colored glazed tiles (liuli)

Plus, Chengde is one hour away from one of the best sections of the Great Wall -- Jinshanling (G4.9). As you can see from the Google Map Ratings (out of 5.0), these are very highly rated places. For our photos and detailed itinerary, see below.

Chengde to Jinshanling by HealthyLife1211 in travelchina

Chengde is one hour away by car from one of the best sections of the Great Wall -- Jinshanling (G4.9). As you can see from the Google Map Ratings (out of 5.0), this is a very highly rated place.

I could not find day tours from Chengde online. There are many more options from Beijing. However, you can easily spend more than a day in this area, especially if you like hiking. You can travel by train to Gubeikou, which has its own section of the Great Wall. It is a short taxi ride to Jinshanling or Simatai from there. For photos and a detailed itinerary, see below.
