5. 4.5 Eight Outer Temples in The Bishu Villa (76 reviews)
   - Definately worth travelling to visit these superb temples
   Monday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Beach & Pool Clubs
   
   
   The 8 temples are easily reached by taxi from central Chengde - 10 -15mins at most. Entrance fees are a standard 80RmB but the tickets usually cover two or more temples as long as you visit them on the same day. The bigger temples have lots of Chinese tour parties so they can be crowded and noisy. The earlier in the day you visit the better. Allow a morning or afternoon for each temple. When we visited (Oct 2011) two of the smaller temples (Pu Ren & An Yuan temples) were closed for restoration. See more..
   
6. 4.5 Temple of Universal Peace (Puning si) (67 reviews)
   - Great tibetan style temple
   Monday: 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites • Religious Sites
   
   
   Tip : buy the combined ticket for 280yuans (Mountain resort, Potala and Punning Temple) if you're going to visit the main sights. You can add HammerRock the price would be 320yuans if I remember. Really nice temple, dont miss the largest bouddha in a piece of wood (22m), very impressive. Few monks around, and people praying. See more..
   
7. 4.5 Baili Canyon Resort (66 reviews)
   - Beautiful Gorge and Waterfalls
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   What a beautiful place to see! We spent a whole morning in the gorge and took many many photos. Numerous waterfalls. Steep narrow cliffs. Spectacularly clean and well kept! It was not crowded and we found ourselves alone at times, even sharing a kiss in the romantic setting between the rock facings. There are trails for both the daring and the squeamish up the mountain side. Well worth the three hour train ride from Beijing. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Nandaihe Entertainment Center (64 reviews)
   - Развлечения на весь день
   Game & Entertainment Centers
   
   
   Огромная территория, гулять-неперегулять. Кроме аттракционов тут есть и красивейшая зона отдыха. Пруды с лотосами и яркими карпами, изящные беседки, храм лотосов, красивые статуи. Так что можно получить дозу адреналина, а после погулять или отдохнуть в тени. See more..
   
9. 4.5 Eastern Royal Tombs of the Qing Dynasty (64 reviews)
   - Qing Tombs in Summer, better than Ming tombs
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites • Cemeteries
   
   
   I went to the Qing tombs with my family in summer 2013 and were lucky enough to be driven there by family in China. While it's quite faraway from the rest of the Beijing sites, it's worth a day's trip to Zunhua to see these tombs. After seeing the site in Beijing I was quite disappointed with the fake and refurbished state of the sites, and the inability to get up and close to the site. The Qing tombs have no been refurbished, but this does not take anything away from its grandness. You are able to get up to the buildings and there is very little people around, allowing you to take your time and not feel rushed by the people around you. The underground sites were amazing, very detailed and beautiful marble carvings. It's cold in there, even in the middle of summer, so do bring something to wear. Better to go to this site than the Ming tombs. See more..
   
10. 4.5 Museum of Summer Resort (56 reviews)
    - Qing History at a Glance
    Speciality Museums
    
    
    It was a lovely tour with a very learned tour guide. However the tourists were all over the place and a few "strays" came to join our group and listened to the tour guide. Those in my group who do not understand Mandarin took a back seat and walked quietly with the group. The museum is a must - see tourist spot, even without a tour-guide. See more..
    
11. 4.5 Hebei Provincial Museum (55 reviews)
    - High-class collections
    Monday: Speciality Museums
    
    
    High-class museum on collections, especially the ground floor ‘Princess Tomb’. When visit China’s provincial city, it’s advisable to spend at least 2 hours to visit its own Provincial Museum. See more..
    
12. 4.5 Xibai Hillside (52 reviews)
    - 春访西柏坡
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites
    
    
    作为革命圣地，西柏坡的历史地位非常重要，是中共中央进京前的所在地，共产党打赢三大战役，召开七届二中全会都在这个不起眼的小山村。参观分纪念馆、旧址和安全教育馆三个部门，很有收获，讲解员素质挺高，旧址（复制）维护也很好。人很多，宣誓的一拨又一拨，红色产业值得发展。 See more..
    
13. 4.5 Wanlong Ski Area (48 reviews)
    - Great skiing, a lot of fun!
    Monday: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Ski & Snowboard Areas
    
    
    It’s been a while since we’ve been skiing, but this place didn’t disappoint. The manufactured snow wasn’t too bad & this time of year it wasn’t very crowded. The rental equipment was in good condition. There is a limited amount of English spoken, but we were able to get by with a few English speaking employees & the trusty translate app. My 12 year old son had a 2 hour lesson with an English instructor that was great!! There seem to be a lot more intermediate & advanced runs here, but there’s one long green that was nice. See more..
    
14. 4.5 Acient Lotus Flower Pond Resort (39 reviews)
    - Beautiful when the Lotus Flowers are in full bloom
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
    
    
    Awesome, peaceful park, and stunning when the masses of huge lotus flowers are in bloom. Highly recommend at the right time of year. I first visited in the first half of 2002 and again in Sept 2010. Fantastic both times. See more..
    
15. 4.5 Great Wall Museum (35 reviews)
    - Very informative
    Monday: Speciality Museums
    
    
    A definite must visit if you are interested in the history of the Great Wall! It's free and visit it only after you went to the First Pass Under Heaven as you will not be able to get into the First Pass Under Heaven after you exited. From there you can follow the road out and take a taxi or those small 3-wheeled electric car (taxi could be rare so this car, although slower makes a good alternative! and I paid only 10RMB to get to Laolongtou) to Laolongtou See more..
    
16. 4.5 Great Wall at Jiaoshan (34 reviews)
    - The "First Mountain" that the Great Wall ascends up from where it meets the Bohai Sea in the East.
    Ancient Ruins
    
    
    Restored in the early 1990's, this piece of wall is approximately 10 kilometers inland and accessible by public transport (bus). Chairlift runs from the base to the top. Views to the ocean from the top and no crowds. See more..
    
17. 4.5 Longxing Temple (33 reviews)
    - Marvelous!! A must visit in Zhengding
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
    
    
    The monastery was originally built in the Sui Dynasty (586 AD). Most of the present buildings were reconstructed during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). Other than beautiful architectures, there are lots of valuable artworks. For example, a 22-meter bronze statue of Thousand Hands Guan Yin, a colorful wooden carving of Guan Yin sitting in a grotto, statues of bronze Buddha, and historical stone tablets. What a marvelous historical spot!! It is a must visit for architecture researchers, religious art lovers, artist, and history buffs. See more..
    
18. 4.5 Western Qing Tombs (32 reviews)
    - Huge Complex of multiple Qing Dynasty Tombs
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ancient Ruins • Cemeteries
    
    
    The Western Qing tombs received far fewer visitors than the Eastern Qing tombs or the Ming Tombs. The tomb site itself is huge, and a driver is needed to go between the different tombs. Tai Ling tomb is the biggest and most impressive tombs, with a processional avenue over a mile longs. Chang Ling tomb has an impressive echo wall, where anything you say is bounced back seven times. Much of Chang Ling tomb was closed, but this meant the the whole place was abandoned. It was great to get photos of huge marble statues, bridges and processional roads without a single individual in sight. Chong Ling tomb has an impressive underground vault with huge carved doors. You can still see the holes were treasure hunters and tomb robbers broke their way in. Mu Ling tomb is small, and was being repaired when I visited. Yong fu temple is a scenic change to the numerous tombs. See more..
    
19. 4.5 Congtai Park (32 reviews)
    - Another great Handan Park...
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Parks
    
    
    A great city centre park, always some activity to watch or join in with or perhaps just wander round taking in all the sights... See more..
    
20. 4.5 Mulan Paddock (32 reviews)
    - muito bom
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins • Architectural Buildings
    
    
    achei as pessoas um poco frias uma com as outras mesmo nao sendo turista.Talvez é porque aqui o povo é afavel e caliente See more..
    
21. 4.5 Saihanba National Forest Park (31 reviews)
    - Not easy to get to, but well worth the effort.

22. 4.5 Wulonggou Great Wall (31 reviews)
    - 雄伟长城
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins
    
    
    中国的骄傲!毫无疑问，长城是我国乃至人类建筑史上的一项奇迹。我们的先民在极其贫乏的物质条件下，以最原始、最简单的工具完成了如此浩大的工程，显示了他们的智慧、力量和决心。但是要把长城说成是中华民族共同的象征，歌颂它在中国历史上超过如何大的作用，就违背了历史事实。 See more..
    
23. 4.5 Bashang Hongshanjun Horse track (30 reviews)
    - 茫茫的大草原啊
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Horse Tracks • Beach & Pool Clubs
    
    
    第一次看草原，感觉还是蛮震撼的！不管好不好看，但是别有一番风味！第一天到达将军泡子，骑马讲价40每小时，贵了，这是后话。第二天租越野车，由于同行的朋友跟老板是熟客，讲价500两辆车半天，一开始觉得挺贵的，等跑了一圈发现还真是不贵啊，那些路真的是挺毁车的呢，至少我是这么觉得的，而且还跑了好大一圈呢，听过瘾。路上碰上好几拨放马的，骑马讲到20~30一小时，具体多少忘了。路上见到一拨骑马的，见识到为什么骑马的时候马主人总是告诫骑马的别让马靠近水，以前以为是马一喝水没完呢，没想到，嘿嘿，看到一个游客的马进水里喝水，然后倒地打滚，还好他身手矫健就湿了半身，呵呵！总体来说还是很好玩的！我是6月20日左右去的！ See more..
    
24. 4.5 Nanhu Garden (29 reviews)
    - South Lake Park
    Parks
    
    
    This is a major receration and ecologicalparkland in Tangshan. It is one of the largest artifical lakes in Asia, formed in part by flooded coalmines. It is well worth a visit if you like peaceful walks and plants. Many local people go there and are friendly to foreigners. It is too big to walk around, so exploring small parts on foot, or using bicycles may be options. South Lake Park is actually several lakes, and a main road seperating the main parts. There is a hill in the south of the northern part, worth a climb for the view. See more..
    
25. 4.0 Beidaihe Summer Resort (874 reviews)
    - Great trip with the friends.
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Walking Areas
    
    
    This is a wonderful city where is close to BeiJing,it can save much time for the flights with many options. And the local food ,people are both nice. I will stay here for some time and could visit frequently . Any questions for the cities of QinhuangDao,I will try to help you out of the problems. See more..
    
26. 4.0 Laolongtou (Old Dragon's Head) (263 reviews)
    - The Head of the Great Wall
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Stepping in the head of the Great Wall is really magnificent. The beginning starting from the sea is just like a dragon drinking water from the sea. Then it’s body stretches all the way to Gansu (end of Great Wall). A must visit if you are at Tianjin; just 1.5 hours away by speed train. See more..
    
27. 4.0 Yesanpo Baicaopan Resort community (132 reviews)
    - Nice views, good place for BBQ
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beach & Pool Clubs
    
    
    excellent natural views in the mountains, some temples and buildings worthy visiting. picnic would be great if you bring enough materials, also some local BBQ resturants are recommended See more..
    
28. 4.0 Shanhaiguan Gate Tower (106 reviews)
    - Shanhaiguan Pass. A City Surronuded by The Great Wall.
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Architectural Buildings
    
    
    Historically this is the place where the gates where opened, following the demise of the Ming Dynasty, to allow the army from the north (Shenyang) to enter and from the Qing Dynasty. well worth the visit. Plenty of wall to walk on here and it's flat with little crowd. See more..
    
29. 4.0 Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park (99 reviews)
    - see and touch animals close up
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    
    
    Lots of animals. Most of them you can feed or touch for a price (10-20Y). For the same price you can take a picture with animals or feed them. Most animals have space to roam around. Drive through or take a train through with places to get off. The animal show was heartbreaking. The coyote and some other animals had broken spirits and hated doing their "tricks". The only ones that seemed to enjoy performing were the dogs. Lots of places to eat (mostly junk food). There is a reasonable restaurant where the rides are. If you like zoos, you will like this place. If you love animals, don't go. Save up and go on safari in Africa. TIP: Your kids will want to feed the animals. Bring veggies (carrots, cucumbers, etc. for the rabbits, kangaroos, etc. and leafy veggies for other animals such as giraffes). Save money and don't buy animal food there. TIP: Go off season when there are fewer people. The animals are still there but less crowds. See more..
    
30. 4.0 Nandaihe Golden Beach (89 reviews)
    - Beach is golden, but “Plastic”
    Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
    
    
    We spend a weekend close to this beach and although everything is quite beautiful from far away unfortunately the beach is littered with plastic and other rubbish. Could be a nice spot if given a good cleanup. See more..
