There are over ten cities in northeastern China that can be reached from Chengde, including Tianjin and Shijiazhuang, although the Chengde-Beijing bus is by far the most frequently used. Buses to Beijing (RMB30, 3.5hrs) leave every half hour from the long distance bus station. Air-conditioned buses also leave from here, although there are only a few every day.
The long distance bus station is located on Wulie lu, near the intersection with Xinhua lu.
