The vast block of the PutuozongchengTemple dominates the area north of Bishu Shanzhuang. This is the area’s largest and most impressive temple complex, built between 1767 and 1771 to celebrate Emperor Qianlong’s 60th birthday. Heads of states from all over the vast empire were invited to cele-brate at Chengde. The Putuozongcheng was based on the Potala Palace in Lhasa, and is a striking monument, although closer inspection reveals it to be nothing more than a mock-up of the Tibetan original. It is most spectacular from afar.
