Chengde Royal Hunting Garden, Mulan Paddock, is located in the northeastern part of Hebei Province, bordering the Inner Mongolia grassland; it has been a grassland with abundant water and grass and the proliferation of animals since ancient times. The "Thousand Miles of Pine Forest" was once a hunting place for the Liao emperors, and the "Mulan Paddock" was the place where the Qing emperors held the "Mulan Autumn Festival". In 1681 AD, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty opened a hunting ground of more than 10,000 square kilometers here in order to train his army. Every autumn, a hunting event with strong military overtones is held here, which is known in history as "Mulan Autumn Hunting". During the more than 140 years between Kangxi and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, 105 Mulan Autumn Festivals were held here. The Qing Dynasty built many palaces along the way, so there were Chengde Summer Resort and the Eight Outer Temples. Today, among the green mountains and green fields, there are still the simple and elegant Qitong Monument, the unique temple-palace-integrated building - Dongmiao Palace, the legendary military training platform and the general pavilion, which have become a good place for tourists to pay homage to the past.

Note that Mulan Paddock is the largest royal hunting ground in the world. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty established Mulan Paddock in the 20th year of Kangxi (1681), and Mulan Paddock became the royal hunting ground of the Qing Dynasty. Mulan means whistle deer in Manchu. What is a whistle deer? When hunting, the Eight Banners soldiers wear stag antlers on their heads and imitate the call of a male deer in the woods to lure the female deer. This is a trapping and killing method. The paddock was where the Sentinel Deer was located, where the emperor hunted. Mulan Paddock was a virgin forest and vast Mongolian grassland in the Qing Dynasty.

The Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples, Chengde

The Mountain Resort, also known as Chengde Palace or Rehe Palace, is located in Chengde City, Hebei Province The northern part of the center is where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty spent summer vacations and handled government affairs. The Summer Resort is located in the narrow valley on the west bank of the Wulie River to the north of the downtown area of ??Chengde, 230 kilometers away from Beijing. It was built in 1703 and took about 90 years to complete after three emperors of the Qing Dynasty: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. Compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Summer Resort adopts the style of a simple and elegant mountain village, taking the true nature of natural landscapes and absorbing the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Great Wall. It has become the largest existing ancient imperial palace in China.

On his way to the north, Emperor Kangxi discovered that Chengde has good terrain, pleasant climate, and beautiful scenery. It is also directly connected to the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty - the north. It is the gateway to the hometown of the Manchu emperor, and you can also overlook it. Within the pass, various Mongolian tribes were controlled externally, so they chose to build a palace here. In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), large-scale construction work began here, dredging lakes, building roads and building palaces. By the 52nd year of Kangxi (1713), 36 scenic spots were completed, and the walls of the villa were built. Construction was suspended during the Yongzheng Dynasty. From the sixth year of Qianlong (1741) to the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), construction continued until completion. The completed summer resort added 36 Qianlong scenes and eight outer temples outside the resort, forming an area of ??approximately 100,000 square meters within the boundary wall. With an area of ??564 hectares and a spectacular scale, it is a unique royal garden that has left behind precious masterpieces of ancient garden architecture for future generations.
