Chengde City God Temple
承德城隍庙
A City God Temple built in the Qianlong era at the rank of the Rehe Garrison Headquarters. Its painted halls and temple fair traditions are well preserved, and it sits right next to Rehe Confucian Temple.
Chengde City God Temple was built during the Qianlong era at the level of the Rehe Garrison Headquarters. The surviving structures include the mountain gate, an opera stage, bell and drum towers, the main hall and the rear hall. The painted sculptures and murals inside have been restored, and during the Spring Festival there are often temple fairs and folk performances. It stands on Xi Dajie in the old city, in the same area as Rehe Confucian Temple, about a 5-minute walk away. It's an ideal way to spend an afternoon exploring the historic old town beyond the Mountain Resort. Admission is inexpensive. The temple is open roughly from 8:30 to 17:00.
