Chinese city populations are really tough to pin down, I've seen figures anywhere from 300,000 to 4 million for Chengde. If anybody knows a reliable figure, please add.
I would like to know how old Chengde is, if anyone knows, please let me know.
I have rewritten this article almost entirely. Chengde itself is not a World Heritage site, only a very small part it is. Thus, the article should be about the whole city, which is actually very large. Besides major expansion of this article, I think the following work needs to be done with Chengde-related pages:

The Qing Emperors noted the rising Han population in Chengde so they detached it from Inner Mongolia and attached it to Hebei instead.

Well, no, placenames aren't infinitives and that's not anything like what 承 means or has meant
and it's not anything supported by that source. The actual meaning is something closer to "upholding" or "receiving virtue", with probable reference to the dynasty's obligation to (or gift from) its ancestors.
In any case, the current claim is demonstrably false and demonstrably unsupported by its claimed source, so I'll go ahead and nix it. — LlywelynII 05:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
