Chengde, this royal summer resort, is absolutely amazing!

Girls! Chengde, this royal summer resort, is absolutely amazing! I declare this the most stunning travel destination I've visited this year! 🔥🔥🔥

First, you must check in at the Mountain Resort! This was the favorite spot of Qing Dynasty emperors! The entire resort is 8 times larger than the Forbidden City! Girls, make sure to wear comfortable shoes, or you'll be walking until your legs give out! 😱 I recommend buying a combo ticket to visit 72 scenic spots. My favorites are the Misty Rain Tower and the Ten Thousand Trees Garden—perfect for photos! I suggest coming as early as 8 AM when there are fewer people and the lighting is great; every shot looks like a masterpiece!

Next up are the Outer Eight Temples! The Putuo Zongcheng Temple is basically a mini Potala Palace! The golden roofs sparkle under the sun, full of Tibetan charm! Remember to rent a set of Tibetan clothes for photos—your social media will get over a hundred likes! 🙌 The glazed archway at the Xumi Fushou Temple is breathtaking; I recommend visiting at dusk for the amazing sunset light and shadow effects!

Now for the food! You must try the almond tea! The old brand "Zhao Family Almond Tea" is legendary! It’s fragrant and smooth—I can drink three bowls a day! 🍵 Also, try Chengde’s Donkey Roll, soft, glutinous, and sweet—way better than Beijing’s! I recommend the "Old Chengde" shop; their shaomai dumplings are also fantastic!

For accommodation, I recommend staying near the Mountain Resort. I stayed at the "Xinggong Hotel," which has a great vibe! It features traditional Chinese courtyard design, and you can enjoy the resort’s night view! The price is very reasonable, around 200+ RMB per person for a comfortable stay!

Tips: 1️⃣ July and August are peak season but also the hottest months; I suggest coming in September for fewer crowds and better weather. 2️⃣ Water inside the resort is expensive, so bring your own. 3️⃣ Wear long pants at the Outer Eight Temples. 4️⃣ The temperature difference between morning and evening is big, so bring a jacket.

Finally, about transportation: Beijing to Chengde by high-speed train takes just 1 hour! The ticket costs only 60 RMB—cheaper than a taxi! Taxi rides in Chengde city usually cost about 10 RMB, super convenient!

Girls, hurry up! Every photo here looks like a masterpiece, and your friends will be flooded with questions! I’m already planning my second trip! 💃💃💃
