Situated in Chengde, Hebei, the Mountain Resort was where Qing emperors escaped the summer heat and handled state affairs; lakes and hills interweave with scattered isles, combining Jiangnan grace with northern ruggedness.

The Eight Outer Temples surrounding it blend Han, Tibetan and Mongolian architectural styles, with the Putuo Zongcheng Temple and Puning Temple especially renowned, together forming a world heritage landscape.
