Chengde Travel Tips

Chengde is one the famous historical and cultural cities in China. The United Nation in 1994 approved the Summer Resorting palace and Waiba Temple as one of the world cultural heritages.

Arts & Entertainment
Chengde is quite laidback compared to nearby Beijing-a nice night out in Chengde might consist of a lengthy dinner with drinks at an outdoor restaurant in the summer. If you're looking for something livelier, you'll find a decent assortment of bars and pubs scattered about town. Local theatrical, dance and musical performances and festivals often celebrate aspects of the cultures long resident on the northern side of the Great Wall (when they weren't conquering and ruling all of China), the Mongolians and Manchurians.

Chengde Shopping
The steady flow of tourists into Chengde has assured the success of local handicrafts, all of which can be found around town in shops, malls and small stands. Many of them use materials obtained from the surrounding fields and wooded hills. You'll find local specialties like tree-root sculptures and carved fruit pits along with regional goods including fine paper-cut silhouettes, porcelain scenes, miniature "potted" landscapes, paintings on silk known as sichou guajin, and fascinating folk-art assemblages made of silk, cardboard, gemstones, embroidery, sponge and other elements that are known as "Teng's cloth-pasted pictures".

Chengde is also a good place to pick up locally harvested hazelnuts and almonds, as well as mushrooms, nasturtium and wild medicinal herbs, many of which are fairly rare elsewhere. Almonds are used to create a popular juice reputed to have medicinal qualities.

The wood caving is unique. There is a kind of stick in Chengde. It is made from walnuts and wood that is worked with care. This kind of stick is refined. If you can always use it, you will be much healthier. So it is called the "long life stick".
