Ming\'s Dynasty Hostel is found in the historical city of Chengde, the perfect place for a retreat away from big city life, as Qing dynasty emperors discovered over 200 years ago!

Ming\'s Dynasty is Chengde\'s first hostel. It\'s located several minutes walk from the main train station. Ming\'s Dynasty is run by an American woman and her Chinese husband. At Ming\'s Dynasty you will find East truly meets West! The owners bring together the best of both worlds through their knowledge of local life and culture, as well as through their understanding of foreign travelers\' needs.

Ming\'s Dynasty is a small hostel, which includes 18 rooms surrounding a small courtyard (Chinese siheyuan). A variety of rooms are available to insure you find a room that meets your expectations and budget. There is also a bar & cafe on-site where guests can relax, surf the internet (free WiFi), play board games, swap books, and enjoy a drink while meeting new friends.

Visiting Chengde\'s UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Summer Mountain Resort and Eight Outer Temples, can easily be done by bus, taxi, or bike. Information is provided for free at hostel check-in.

**Please Note: We are located near the train station and the trains often blow their horns. Please consider bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
