Go from Beijing airport to Chengde right away? Beijing Liuliqiao or Sihui Long-Distance Bus Station have regular buses to Chengde. Not very easy for you to find the coach station I guess. Perhaps you can take a taxi and Sihui is closer to the airport. The other option is to take airport bus to Beijing Railway Station and then take train to Chengde. Train is a bit slower, about 5-6 hours, 4 hours by bus.

Dear Chengde experts,
Are there frequent coaches to Qinhuandao / Shanhaiguan? How long does it take and how much do they cost? What are the alternatives?
Kind regards,

Hi, take bus no 33 or 25 to shanghaiguang from qinhuangdao. The price is 2 yuan and the duration is about 50 minutes. If you take taxi, it is faster (about 30 minutes) and the cost is higher too: 30 yuan.

Sorry, my question was ambiguous. I wanted to ask whether there are coaches or trains from Chengde to either Qinhuangdao or Shanhaiguan.
Thanks!

NO train. You can take coach at Chengde Long-distance Bus Station (East Bus Station) to Qinhuangdao (4.5-6hours) then change to city bus to Shanhaiguan.
