Chengde Mountain Resort is one of China's leading scenic spots and the world's largest imperial garden, which was used to be a summer resort and hunting ground.

The Chengde Mountain Resort is found in a long and narrow ravine by the Wulie River in the Yanshan Mountains. The resort itself is enclosed with a 10-kilometre-long, 13-metre-wide stone wall that runs up and down the terrain in a way reminiscent of the Great Wall. The resort itself falls into two parts, palaces and gardens.
