Small Potala Palace (小普达拉宫), which is nestled in Chengde and seriously blew my mind
Top Spots to Visit:
- Small Potala Palace (小普达拉宫, Chengde): The architecture here is gorgeous — think intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and panoramic views. Tip: Go early to get those epic outdoor shots with fewer crowds and golden sunshine.
Getting Around 🚖
Chengde is super easy to navigate by local taxi (cheap and everywhere), or you can hop on the public buses. Download a reliable translation app — it’s a game changer in smaller cities.
Food Musts 🍜
You HAVE to try the mutton soup at any local eatery.
