Some of your information on Chengde is wrong. Just to let people know if your at the train station taxi's are flat 10 yuan to anywhere in the city. In the city the price is flat 5 yuan (don't let them turn on the meter in the city and try to rip you off it is a flat rate). If traveling out of the city there are taxis that will take you for flat rates out to the twin peaks for 10 Yuan, usually it means sharing a taxi with others but it is better than the flat 30 yuan normally. Also except the long distance buses all buses are 1 yuan. From the train station if you take the #7 bus it will take you into the city. If you want to go to the Summer Mountain Resort change to Bus #6 once in the city, to go to the Sledgehammer Rock take bus #26, for the Puning Temple take the #6 just stay on for awhile. The rest of the city is easy enough to travel through on foot. One have only one night club that reminds me of the old movie "Saturday Night Fever" and one bar street.
Take care and enjoy the trip!!!
