The Mountain Resort in Chengde, Hebei Province, China, was the Summer Palace of the Qing Dynasty. Built between 1703 and 1792, the Mountain Resort and its outlying temples in Chengde is a vast complex of temples, palaces, administrative offices and ceremonial buildings. These manmade structures were built to blend harmoniously into the landscape of lakes, pastures and forests. They also represent a variety of architectural styles and reflect the aesthetic aspiration of imperial China of that period.
The Mountain Resort and outlying temples of Chengde were inscribed as World Heritage Sites during the 18th session of the World Heritage Committee, which met in Phuket Thailand on 12-17 December, 1994.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
