Highlights
  • Longqing Gorge - Longqing Gorge is a scenic area in the village of Gucheng at Yanqing District of Beijing. It is one of the most popular day trip getaways for people living in Beijing. It is well known for its scenic canyon landscape. A reservoir flooded the canyon after the building of the nearby Longqing Dam. The mountain and river vistas are reminiscent of other famous landscapes in China. It is variously given the names “Little Three Gorges” for resembling a “microcosm of the Yangtze River’s fabled Three Gorges” or “mini Li River” for its “narrow peaks and dramatic rock faces” recalling the Li River in Guilin.
    The prime attraction for tourists visiting the scenic area is a 15-minute open top boat cruise along the bottom of the Longqing Gorge. A cable car takes visitors up to a mountain peak.
    There is a 258-metre (846 ft) yellow dragon-shaped escalator to bring visitors to the top of the Longqing Dam

recommend to everyone - I traveled to Beijing before. So, this time I would like to take a tour to see something different, and also stay away from the crowded places in Beijing downtown. It proved to be such a good choice. I had a great tour guide, who showed me the best part of Beijing I have never seen before. I am amazed by the deep wisdom of ancient dwellers about their residence. The boat tour on the gorge was a surprise because I never expected there would be a dam on the top of the hill. If you ever want to see something different from the regular tours, this one is absolutely the right choice.

Stunning views and friendly guide ! - Excellent attraction ! I won't describe the landscapes. It's better to discover it by yourself, but I can say it's worth it. Stunning and peaceful views around Beijin. Judy is so friendly and concerned. I spent a real good time with her, I'm really grateful !
