This being a summer resort, should not be visited in the winter,like I did. Much of it was closed, and the alleged scenic beauty was not apparent. Do spend a little time to learn the history, and study the seven different schools of Buddasm ( Tibetan, Mongolian, etc.) that resulted in seven different temples built by the Qing emperor to unite the people, including a replica of Tibetan Patala Palace
