Chan Chan Archaeological Zone
The Chimú Empire, with Chan Chan as its capital, reached its peak in the 15th century, shortly before it was conquered by the Incas. This sprawling city was the largest in pre-Columbian Americas, and its planning reflected a strict political and social strategy, characterized by its division into nine "castles" or "palaces" that formed independent units.
Chengde Chaoyang Cave
Chaoyang Cave is one of the "Top Ten Scenic Spots in Chengde". It is 20 kilometers away from Chengde City and is located in Cangzi Township, Chengde County, Chengde City, Hebei Province. According to the Qing Dynasty Chronicle "Chengde Prefecture Chronicle", Chaoyang Cave "is 37 miles east of the prefecture. The stone cave is hollow and runs across the mountain belly", "the sun shines through the cracks at dawn, and the sun can be seen across the mountain." Chaoyang Cave got its name from this. After leaving Chengde City, drive east along National Highway 101 for about 40 minutes and you will arrive at the foot of Chaoyang Cave. This is a dirt mountain covered with trees and firewood. The slope is gentle, but the top of the mountain rises abruptly, protruding a steep cliff several dozen feet high. Chaoyang Cave is in the middle of this cliff. Looking from the front, there is a dark cave entrance in the middle, and there are halls with carved beams and painted buildings on both sides, hidden in the shadows of lush trees. Tourists are everywhere, and the smoke is curling, which is quite mysterious and solemn. Below the cave entrance is a smooth cliff, which is dangerous and impossible to climb.
