chengde is an 18th-century imperial resort, about 250 km northeast of beijing, that is also known as jehol or "rehe." it was discovered by the early qing emperor kangxi in the late 17th century, who found the cool summer climate and natural scenery appealing as a summer retreat. kangxi and his successors built some 72 palaces there by the end of the 18th century, along with replicas of the potala palace of the tibetan buddhist lamas. today chengde is a popular tourist center and now a summer retreat for beijing urbanites.
