On the problem of traveling to Chengde

You can take the train from Qingdao (the high-speed train is up to you) to Beijing, and you must arrive before 3 pm. Then take a bus to Liuliqiao in Beijing. There is a bus stop at Liuliqiao. You can take a bus to Chengde here. The fare is 87 yuan (including insurance), and it takes less than two hours to get to Chengde by expressway (the traffic jam time from Liuliqiao to Sanyuanqiao depends on your personality, and the traffic jam in the capital ... is known to the whole country). If you take the train, it will take four and a half hours at the earliest. If you plan to experience diesel internal combustion engine trains, you can try it. How to do it yourself, 12306 is clear at a glance.

Regarding the scenic spots, it is recommended to go to Chengde city first. The better scenic spots are the Summer Resort and its surrounding temples (commonly known as Parting Palace and Bawai Temple by locals, Zongcheng Temple in Putuo, that is, Little Potala Palace is one of the Bawai temples, not far from the north side of the villa), Qinghammer Peak in Shuangluan District (commonly known as Bangcroquet Mountain), Monk Maoshan and Shuangta Mountain. You can go to these scenic spots by yourself, or you can try to ask a guide to lead them. Then start from Chengde City to Saihanba (commonly known as Bashang, located in Weichang County, Chengde City). It's best to find a travel agency for this trip, because the traffic on the dam is inconvenient, and the accommodation in the scenic spot can be described as sky-high price (an ordinary hotel, double standard room, the lowest price in peak season is 900 a night), and the scenic spot area is very large. If you can't travel by car, it is a good choice to find a travel agency.

As for the Great Wall, there is really nothing to play. If you want to go, Shanhaiguan is a good choice, and Badaling in Beijing is also good.

As a Chengde person, I warmly welcome friends from all over the world to visit Chengde ~
