<strong>The City</strong>

With clean air, great hiking, and just a generally slower pace of life, Chengde is very different to China's large metropolises. At the same time, Chengde is China's ancient summer capital and where Chinese emperors spent their summers, built their summer palaces, temples and the imperial mountain resort. Even though only two hours northeast of Beijing, located in the Northern mountains next to the Great Wall, with a cool breeze during the summer, great air quality and site of several UNESCO world heritage sites, the city is little known to the international tourist community.<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/45243b8fea1938b1d5e2a16c44d5b783.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5692" alt="Chengde Total Immersion" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/45243b8fea1938b1d5e2a16c44d5b783-300x218.jpg" width="300" height="218" /></a>

<strong>Total Immersion</strong>

Almost unknown outside of China, you most likely will not meet a single other foreigner in Chengde, even when studying there for months. There is not a single Mc Donald's restaurant in Chengde and pretty much nobody speaks any whatsoever English in the city. Also, as a the former imperial summer capital, many inhabitants are descendants of the former extended imperial family and ruling aristocracy, which means that very standard Mandarin is spoken throughout the city, probably the best in all of China. LTL students live with a Chinese family, study 1-on-1, and are full immersed in a Chinese language and culture environment.

If you want to see a side of China that is a lot slower, less developed, cleaner and traditional than China's large cities, but still be surrounded by Mandarin speakers, experience China's history and want to be fully immersed into Chinese culture, Chengde and the LTL Two City Combo are for you.

[toggle title="Click for more information on Chengde"]If you can’t make it all the way to Tibet, the Potala temple in Chengde will give you a taste of Lhasa. Designed after the original, it was commissioned by the Qinglong Emperor in the 18th century. The Mountain Resort is also a beautiful site to visit both in summer and winter, and the mountains it was named for offer beautiful panoramas of the city.[/toggle]
