You are reading the page about Chengde Travel.
Chengde, once a mountain retreat for the Qing emperor Kang Xi and his concubines and eunuchs, can offer a highly rewarding two- or three-day sojourn out of Beijing for those seeking an unharried, contemplative look at a major junction in the history of the Manchu Empire. Located 256 km.(159 mi.) northeast of Beijing (about five hours away by train), Chengde has a modest role in the contemporary context as a distribution center for forestry products, medicinal plants, and fruits. Its historical importance is marked by the remains of Emperor Kang Xi’s summer palace and gardens(now a public park) and some of the country’s most unusual Chinese and Tibetan temples.
Daily rail services connect Chengde with Beijing. One slow (61/2 hours)and two express (4 hours) trains run each way each day. Alternately, for those who enjoy package tours, a variety of 2 to 4 day minibus tours of Chengde leave daily from Front Gate in Beijing. Most include transportation, admissions, and lodging (shared accommodations), and cost from Y30 to Y50.

Designed by the N0 708 Institute of the China Shipbuilding and Trading Company and manufactured by the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, Yuehai Railway1, the first Chinese-made train ferry at a cost of 210million (US $ 25 million) passed a rigorous series of tests and met design requirements. It began trial operation on December 28, 2002. China’s first-ever maritime rail service was successfully launched on January 7, 2003 with the loading of a locomotive, two freight train cars, and a number of trucks onto a railway ferry. The century-old dream of Dr Sun Yet-sen-a vanguard of the Chinese revolution-of a direct rail link from the Chinese mainland to Hainan Island, has become a reality.
The carrier links Hainan with Xuwen County in nearby Guangdong Province. The 12.5-nautical-mile ( the 24-kilometre-long ferry route) Qiongzhou Straits had been a bottleneck blocking the development of the island province but the ship is capable of keeping stable while sailing in heavy gales and can travel at a speed of more than 15 knots perhour, and crosses it in more than 40 minutes. It is a big spur to the development of Hainan Province and the exploration of resources in the South China Sea. Its significance lies not just in its being an economic boost but also because it enhances the national defence as well. The maritime rail service is part of the Guangdong-Hainan railway which consists of a 139.12-kilometrestretch of track running from Zhanjiang to Hai’an, the ferry crossing and 182kilometres of track across Hainan’s west coast from Haikou to Sanya, a popular seaside resort on the southern tip of the island. Although using ferries to take trains across the Qiongzhou Straits can not compare with a marine tunnel in terms of time-saving, transport capacity, all-weather traffic and comfort, it is the best time at present in terms of cost and furthermore, fully met current demands.

Taoism originated in China and Buddhism was introduced into China for about 2,000 years and was long ago incorporated into traditional Chinese culture.
Their aims, and the very techniques by which they were to be realized, had much in common with those of the Taoists, although they were a good deal more strenuous. Therefore it was chiefly in Chan that Buddhism, after being on Chinese soil for nearly a thousand years, finally came to terms with Chinese ideals.
Many of the Hans used to worship both the Buddha and the Taoist gods. Therefore, among the ordinary Han people, it was very difficult to distinguish the Taoists from the Buddhists. In ancient China, both
Buddism and Taoism had a deep effect on the development of ideas culture and popular customs: Since 1949 the Chinese Government has protected all the famous Buddhist buildings as treasures of China’s culture and art. Examples of these are the White Horse Monastery in Luoyang (built in AD 68) , Henan Province and the Dunhuang Grottoes (carved in the 4th century) in Gansu Province, the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi Province (built in the 5th century):Longmen Grottoes (completed in the 6th and succeeding centuries) in Luoyang, Henan Province, the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet(first erected in the 7th century and reconstructed in the 17th century and renovated in 1990s), Dazu sculptures in Chongqing Municipality (carved during the late period of the Tang Dynasty and concluded by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), the Guangji (Vast Succour) Temple,the Stupa (erected for the Tooth-Relics) in Beijing and the Linyin (Soul’s Retreat) Temple in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (completed in the 13thcentury) .
The most important Taoist temples in China are the White Cloud Temple in Beijing, the one in Mount Qingcheng of Sichuan Province and the one in Mount Wudang of Hubei Province.

The following I introduce are Suzhou attractions.
Panmen Gate
Built in 514 BC, the City of Suzhou has 8 land-gates and 8 water-gates, one of which is named Panmen Gate, consisting of double-layer land-gate and water-gates abreast as well as an ambush area. Surrounded by the Grand canal, ancient bridges, and Auspicious Light Pagoda , the classical Gate Tower can provide the tourist with unique perspectives.
The Administrative Department of Panmen Gate, a famous ancient scenic Spot in Suzhou, invested about 18 million yuan (US $ 2.2 million) to carryout comprehensive improvements to the environment. The improvements to the area included such things as planting trees, flowers and grass, clearing ponds, and installing lights. According to statistics from the department, approximately 100 trees were planted, more than 7,000 square metres increased the area lawn, and about 15,000 square metres of pond were cleaned. An additional 30,000 pots of flowers were made ready to decorate the scene, and more than 400 lights were installed. At the same time, the department reorganized their ticket sales office, did some interior decorating and planned new to tour routes. The scenic area hopes to welcome visitors with an entirely new face.
Tuisiyuan (Retreat and Meditation Garden) :
Tongli, together with Zhouzhuang and Luzhi, are famous as the “three water towns of Jiangsu Province.” “Tong” and “Li” are actually a reconstitution of two other characters, “fu” and “tu.” Tongli was called Futu, or “the wealthy land,” from the 11th century until the early 20th century. In those 10centuries, famous scholars, retired government officials and successful businessmen all lived here.
Today’s Tongli dwellings were adapted from those lush private gardens. Some are now fine hotels run by local people. For example, Ren Lansheng, an official of the Qing Dynasty, was demoted to the town and built the famous Tuisiyuan. The name of the tiny but beautiful garden means, “Retreat and Meditation.” (When in office, one should be royal to the emperor, when away from office, one should meditate upon his previous faults. This was the motto of Chinese officials in imperial times, hence the name) It is also fun to hire a boat and sail through the network of canals of Tongli under the town’s 49stone bridges. Tongli is very small for a weekend tour, but it is great for a weekend holiday.
Tongli boasts splendid scenery and rich cultural relics, especially its ancient architecture. Being historically separated from the outside world by five lakes has made its access to the outside difficult, but it allowed the town to preserve its numerous ancient buildings. Fifteen streams divide the town into seven blocks, and 49 elegant stone bridges link the blocks together, with so many cultural treasures and such a unique scene.
