Chengde
outer Eight Temples
 "The
views of the Mountain Resort can be as various
as those in much larger areas". With
the different characteristics of different
nationalities, the magnificent temples are
situated on the mountains and the plain,
which encircle the Imperial Mountain Resort.
The resort and temples add radiance and
beauty to each other. The buildings reflect
the interflow and mixing of culture and
artistic styles between Chinese nationalities.
They are also the symbol of the unity and
solidarity of multinational country during
the regin of Emperors Kongxi and Qianlong.
Pu Ning Si (Temple of Universal
Peace)
It is based on the Sameye Monastery.
The lofty and brilliant temple has a Buddha
with thousand arms and thousand eyes. White
terraces in various shapes, odd rockeries
and verdant pine trees totally represent
the beauty of gardens.
The Great Vermilion Terrace
It has not only the red and
white terraces in Tibetain style, but also
the pavilions, towers, halls and charmbers
in Han style, which makes it splendid and
magnificent.
