Itinerary

Day 1: Beijing - Chengde

Depart Beijing to Chengde in the morning by taking the high-speed train at Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station. After a trip of approximately one hour, you will be met by your guide at Chengde South Railway Station and commence the tour in Chengde.

Today’s highlight is the legendary Chengde Mountain Resort, the summer palace for Qing Dynasty emperors. The vast complex of palaces, administrative and ceremonial buildings was constructed between 1703 and 1792. Covering an area of over 611 hectares, the Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples represent the great achievements of Chinese palace architecture, gardening art and religious architecture. Wander the imperial gardens and enjoy the landscape of forests, lakes, and pastureland. After the tour in the Mountain Resort, visit the Chengde Museum to learn the history of the Qing Dynasty and Mountain Resort, while exploring the exhibitions for cultural exchanges and architectural art.

At the day’s end, you will be checked into the hotel and free to enjoy your evening. Alternatively, visit the local night market Erxianju to have a taste of local snacks or enjoy the fantastic outdoor show of “Peak Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi Grand Ceremony”.

Meals included: None

Day2: Chengde - Beijing

Continue your tour in Chengde after breakfast by visiting Putuo Zongcheng Temple, the largest of the Eight Outer Temples. Discover the beauty of Chinese and Tibetan architectural art when you visit the grand temple complex which was modeled after the Potala Palace in Tibet. The temple was built between 1767 and 1771 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong to celebrate his 60th birthday.

Next stop is Xumi Fushou Temple, which was originally built in 1780 for the sixth Panchen Lama while staying in Chengde. It was modeled after the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, the monastic seat of Panchen Lama in Shigatse.  You will then be taken to the Puning Temple (Temple of Universal Joy), locally known as Big Buddha Temple and the only remaining active religious site in Chengde. Originally built in1755, the temple was designed with a different architectural style. The traditional Chinese buildings are located in the north section, while the southern section houses Tibetan buildings. The highlight of the temple is the world’s largest gold-lacquer wooden sculpture of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, which is enshrined in the Mahayana Pavilion, a structure modeled after the famous Samye Temple in Tibet.

In the late afternoon, you will be driven to Chengde South Railway Station to take the high-speed train back to Beijing where your tour ends.

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
