Chengde Maps
250 km northeast of Beijing lie two UNESCO world heritage sites - Eight Outer Temples listed 1994 and Mountain Resort listed in 1997 under the jurisdiction of Chengde, a prefecture-level city in Hebei province.
Most of the eight outlying temples ( located on the north and east outside Mountain Resort ) were built in Tibetan style after the palace and temples in Lhasa during the reign of Qing Dynasty ( 1644-1911 ) as a smart policy of reconciliation with the hope of strengthening the unification with the minority nationalities like Tibetan, Mongolian and more who believed in Lamaism.
The Mountain Resort was the secondary political center just after Beijing for about 200 years in Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) as a frontier of safeguiding the inland China and exchanging with the minority nationalities. A trip to Chendge widens your knowledge of the Tibetan culture and Chinese history.
