Beijing secret travel top list and hidden gem Chengde
You’re planning a trip to Beijing and don’t want to waste your time? Here are my top picks for the city in terms of
- cultural hot spots
- places in the city
- food you must try
If you’re staying little longer and want having a trip around Beijing I highly recommend to go to The Great Wall in the north of Beijing (I recommend Jinshanling) and even go further to the City of Chengde. It is a hidden gem without the tourist crowds and you’ll find some great places.
Here is the list of places in the video:
Beijing
- Hutong walk from the Orchid Hotel (The Toast restaurant - great brunch place) to Lama Temple.
- Lama Temple
- Wudaoying Hutong Street the opposite of Lama temple with plenty of small shops and cafe. Feels still real authentic and not too much renovated
- Eat - Beijing roasted duck. You can choose one of the fancy restaurants as in my video to eat with style or go to Liqun Roasted Duck in the Hutong to have it more fatty and down to earth.
- Ming Tombs are an option if you’re anyway driving longer distance to summer palace
- For sure you want to see the classics as Summer Palace to see the lake and temple. You can easy spend 3 hours if you want to go around the lake
- Forbidden City is a must but crowded always don’t forget your passport and remember “Monday closed”
- Temple of heaven (see my separate video)
- Eat - to jump into Chinese cuisine I highly recommend Black sesame kitchen at north east corner of the forbidden city. They serve about 10courses and have a show kitchen to cook it in front of you. Coco the waitress will explain the food... be curious and ask a lot. It’s adjusted to international customers “no bones in the chicken”
Great Wall
- Approx 1.5hours north of Beijing you’ll get to the Great Wall.
- There are many areas to get on the wall. I recommend Jinshanling. It is a good pick in terms of divers towers, good condition to walk and not too crowded.
- You can choose a variety of distances due to different exits down to the main entrance. I recommend take the shuttle bus at the entrance and the gondola to the wall. Safe your energy for the hike at the wall. Lots of stairs will require it.
Chengde
- Approx 1hour drive from Jinshanling
- The copy of the Potala Palace of Lhasa is called Putuo Zongcheng Temple and will give you a feeling that you’re in Lhasa. Amazing sight
- The copy of the summer palace of Beijing is called mountain resort and is pretty big as well. It has a nice lake, some historic houses and a pagoda. Nice wondering around.
- Last but not least lots of Temple in the surroundings of Chengde which I recommend you to visit the Puning Temple. It was almost empty of tourists and the huge Buddha statue with 1000arms was impressive.
Enjoy traveling

Twin Pagodas ⛰️ Shuangta Mountain in Chengde 🇨🇳 China
Shuangta (Twin Pagodas) Mountain in Chengde is one of the Best Tourist Attractions and Top Things to Do in Chengde, it introduces the main scenic spots, entrance tickets booking, The best time to visit, How to Get there, the highlights, facts, history, photos, visiting routes, travel tips, tour maps of Shuangta (Twin Pagodas) Mountain in Chengde(承德双塔山).
After archaeological identification, the bricks of the tower were built in the Yuan Dynasty, so the tower was built in the Yuan Dynasty. However, the Buddha statues and decorations inside were during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it can be seen that they have been renovated in the later period.
The brick tower at the top of Beifeng is about 2 meters high, conical and has no door. The brick tower on Nanfeng is about 5 meters high, the door is about 1.5 meters high and 1.3 meters wide. Before 1976, there was a big crack in the north wall. Amazingly, after the Tangshan earthquake, not only did the brick tower not collapse, but the cracks on the wall disappeared.
So why did the Yuan Dynasty build two towers here? This is related to the belief in Buddhism in the Yuan Dynasty. The emperors of all dynasties believed in Buddhism, so they built temples all over the country. They thought that the higher the temple, the better. The temple on Shuangta Mountain was built in this way.

The Imperial Summer Palace, also known as the Chengde Mountain Resort, is a vast imperial complex located in Chengde, a city in the northeast of China's Hebei Province. The palace was built between 1703 and 1792 during Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and served as the summer retreat for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the largest imperial gardens in China and covers an area of over 5.6 square km.
The palace is a magnificent combination of Chinese and Tibetan architectural styles, featuring numerous buildings, pavilions, temples, and gardens. The palace consists of four major parts: the Palace Area, the Lake Area, the Plain Area, and the Mountain Area. Each area has its own unique features and attractions.
The Imperial Summer Palace is a beautiful and unique attraction that showcases the grandeur and elegance of imperial China. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 and is a popular tourist destination in China.
Chengde Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Chengde in China.
The Qing emperors knew exactly where to shelter during Peking's hot summer months, in the Valley of Coolness, a beautiful forested river valley 250 kilometres northeast of Peking. In former Rehe Province, today's Chengde, is the old summer residence of the Manchu Dynasty that took more than a century to construct.
The Forbidden Palace and its park and gardens are now open to the public. Just as in Peking, the emperor went about his official business in the southern front hall with the royal living quarters situated in the rear section of the complex. The huge garden, with its many ponds and bridges is encircled by a 10 kilometre wall beyond which are several large valleys. The garden covers 560 hectares and is the largest Imperial park complex in China, a unique architectural work of art.
The temple monastery of Xumi-Fushou-Miao is one of the most impressive buildings in the city. Translated, the temple's name is, Happiness and Longevity of the Summer Hill. The temple was built in 1780 to mark the visit to China of a senior Tibetan religious dignitary, the sixth Panchen Lama, and is a replica of what was his own monastery in Tibet.
The Mahayana Pavilion is the centre of Buddhist religious belief, namely, Sumeru Mountain. Thus the five-story building is located in the middle of an architectural mandala. The magnificent opulence of the Pavilion was a reflection of China's vast wealth. Each one of the architectural elements that are situated close to the Mahayana Pavilion adhere to the disciplined structure of the Buddhist Universe.
In the 18th century, China had become the greatest and most prosperous Empire in the world. The magnificent summer residence of the Qing Emperor and its surrounding buildings are a glorious and remarkable demonstration of ultimate power.

Puning Si Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Punning Si in China.
Puning Si is one of eight splendid monasteries and temples that are located northeast of the emperor's summer residence of Chengde, in the Chinese province of Hebei. During the 18th century, Manshu Emperor Kangxi ordered the construction of the Great Palace and its surrounding Eight Outer Temples.
Puning SI, the 'Temple of Universal Peace', was built between 1755 and 1758. The area was divided into two architecturally different sections and because the temple was constructed during the time of an important military event, its facade conformed to traditional Chinese Han design. Its architecture was meant to symbolise China's power over the feared Mongolian Dshungars.
The Mahayana Pavilion represents the centre of Buddhist religious belief, namely, Sumeru Mountain. Thus, the five-story building is located in the middle of an architectural mandala. Several small halls and terraces surround the impressive pavilion that is one of the greatest examples of its kind. Each one of the architectural elements that are located close to the Pavilion adhere to the disciplined structure of the Buddhist Universe.

承德游记7/7武烈河 美食城 Journey to Chengde 7/7, Wulie River, Food City
河北承德旧称“热河”，1733年清雍正皇帝取“承受先祖德泽”之意，设承德直隶州，始称“承德”。承德曾是清王朝的夏都和热河省会。
穿越承德市区的武烈河（热河），清澈碧绿，缓缓流淌，点染了承德的旖旎风光，给当地的山峰、寺庙、园林增加了许多魅力。始建于1759年的“清乾隆内坝”防洪工程，现已打造成河滨公园，供人们休闲、旅游。武烈河上所建的橡胶坝，在避暑山庄湖区水源补给，扩充城市供水水源，以及游乐等方面发挥了显著的作用。在避暑山庄附近的金龙购物广场美食街，游人能品尝到承德地道的美食，如香脆春饼烤鸭和满族特色佳肴等，并且在美食街还可选购地方特色产品。
承德是我国著名的历史文化名城和国家级重点风景名胜区。除了避暑山庄、小布达拉宫（普陀宗乘之庙）和普宁寺之外，承德还有不少的景点，如木兰围场、丰宁坝上草原、塞罕坝国家森林公园等，值得游客驻足。
Chengde (Hebei, China) was formerly known as Rehe. In 1733, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty took the meaning of inheriting the ancestor`s kindness and charity extended to the people and established Chengde Zhili Prefecture, which was initially called Chengde. Chengde was once the Summer Plaza (during the Qing Dynasty) and then the capital of Rehe province.
The Wulie River (Rehe), which runs through the urban area of Chengde, is clear and green, flowing slowly, embellishing the beautiful scenery of Chengde and adding a lot of charm to the local mountains, temples and gardens. The Qing Qianlong Inner Dam flood control project, founded in 1759, has now been transformed into a riverside park for people to relax and travel. The rubber dam built on the Wulie River has played a significant role in supplying water sources in the Mountain Resort lake area, expanding urban water supply sources, and playing water games. At the Golden Dragon Shopping Square Food Street near the Mountain Resort, visitors can taste authentic cuisine from Chengde, such as crispy spring cakes with roast duck, and Manchu specialty dishes. Additionally, local specialty products can be purchased on the food street.
Chengde is a famous historical and cultural city and a national key scenic spot in China. In addition to the Mountain Resort, the Mini Potala Palace (Putuo Zongcheng Temple) and the Puning Temple, there are many scenic spots in Chengde, such as Mulan Paddock, Fengning Bashang Grassland, Saihanba National Forest Park, which are worth stopping by tourists.
