Chengde: Nature's Imperial Canvas

#hellochristmas The Chengde Summer Palace masterfully blends natural landscapes with imperial architecture. The Wanshu Yuan Plain offers vast grasslands, while the lakes area features willow-fringed banks, bridges, and pavilions like Fangzhulinliu Pavilion (built in 1709). Beyond the walls, the surrounding hills and mountains, like the one with the unusual rock formation visible from the resort, provide a scenic backdrop.
