Outside the Summer Resort of Chengde, there are twelve temples built during the Qing Dynasty (1644~1911). Dominated by eight districts at that time, they were called the Eight Outer Temples. It took 67 years to build these temples. Standing for the different architectural style of various Minorities in China, the Eight Outer Temples is the symbol of the country's unity and minorities' solidification. Till now, there are seven temples left. The architectures in the Eight Outer Temples are Tibet style, Han Nationality style, Han and Tibet combination styles. Examples are Putuo Zongcheng Temple, Xumi Fushou Temple, Puning Temple and Pule Temple.
