While planning your Beijing tour<\/a>, you may consider an interesting side trip to Chengde (\u627f\u5fb7). This short travel guide is aimed at helping you in choosing the best travel options between Beijing and Chengde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three major ways of travellng from Beijing to Chengde \u2013 Train, bus or driving. We\u2019ll help you assess the advantages and disadvantages of each transportation option.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chengde is an important scenic and historical city, only 250 km northeast of Beijing. Though it is possible for you to make a day trip from Beijing, we suggest you stay overnight to see its magnificent landscape and feel the  splendid culture and history behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Travel From Beijing to Chengde by Train<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of my writing, there are two daily high speed trains running between Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station and Chengde South Railway Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high speed train takes only one hour running from Beijing to Chengde or vice versa. If you are pressed for time, you might take the one hour morning high speed train from Beijing to Chengde, and return to Beijing taking the afternoon high speed train after your highlight visit in Chengde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Getting from Beijing to Chengde by Bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bus service from Beijing to Chengde is more frequent, an easy and affordable option for travellers. The long-distance service for Chengde operates at two of the bus terminals in Beijing \u2013 Sihui\u00a0 Transportation Hub (\u56db\u60e0\u4ea4\u901a\u67a2\u7ebd) and Liuliqiao Long-Distance Bus Station (\u516d\u91cc\u6865\u5ba2\u8fd0\u4e3b\u67a2\u7ebd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
