Chengde was an ideal destination for royal families to escape the summer heat in ancient times with numerous palaces. A mixture of traditional Chinese style and Tibetan style, it presents a Tibetan experience outside of Tibet.

Pule Temple was built in 1766 for visiting Mongolian and minority dignitaries. The temple combines the styles of traditional Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan buildings in a tranquil setting.  

Putuo Zongcheng Temple is reminiscent of the Dalai Lama's Potala Palace in Tibet. It is considered to be a great place to go if you cannot travel to Tibet, but are interested in Tibetan/Mongolian Buddhism.
