Highlights
- Beijing - Your private guide will meet you in the hotel lobby and you’ll travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The pick-up time is flexible based on your request and hotel location. We will contact you in advance to confirm the exact pick-up time.
- Longqing Gorge - This scenic spot is renowned for its gorge. Visitors often compare its scenery to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but the mountains here are much steeper. The landscape also resembles the Li River in Guilin, but the water is much clearer. After descending from the dam, you can enjoy the river and hills by cruise. Each turn around a hill reveals a new view, with heavily forested steep cliffs and bare limestone in various fantastic shapes, eroded by water. Many of these rocks and hills have names, such as Comb Hill, Immortal Taoist Temple, Flowers Cave, and Jingang Temple.
- Guyaju Caves - It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Longqing Gorge to Guyaju Caves, located west of Yanqing County. This is the largest site of an ancient cliff residence community in China, with 117 caves forming a cell-like spectacle on the cliff.
- Beijing - After a full day of exploration, it typically takes 2.5 hours to drive back to your hotel.

Super tour - What a fantastic tour to the Longqing Gorge and Guyaju caves! April was a brilliant tour guide who looked after my family very well. She was so informative about the sites that we visited and about Chinese culture. Both sites were beautiful and a lovely change from the city. For lunch we stopped off at a local restaurant and ate delicious local food, which April explained everything we were eating. The driver was superb too and I felt safe at all times driving to the sites. Thank you for a brilliant tour, and I will be sure to go on another tour with April when I'm next in Beijing. Thank you.

Outstanding Tour - This is our THIRD attempt at trying to submit this review.
We visited the Longqing Gorge and Guyaju Caves and our guide was April. She was an outstanding guide who was very enthusiastic and amazingly informative. She answered our questions clearly. Her English was excellent and she had a very happy disposition. We would strongly recommend her as a guide. Our driver, Mr Wang, who spoke no English had a great sense of humour and was an excellent driver. We felt very safe in his capable hands.
The caves were fascinating but a certain level of fitness is required. The gorge was spectacular and well worth a visit.
We booked our tour through Leo's Private Tour though Viator (Tripadvisor)
THANK YOU April so much for a most unforgetable day. John, Victoria and Rowena

Great tour overall, the Longquin... - <p>Great tour overall, the Longquin gorge is real pretty and you take an escalator through a dragon to get to the top of the dam. The gorge is pretty and well worth the trip and this is a different type of tour for beijing. After about an hour boat trip you take toboggan down the hill which is fun. We had lunch in a place that makes homemad noodles, no folks so be prepared to us chop sticks but the food was awesome. We had a bit of a snafu where the guide didn't know we were going to Guyana Caves but after 1 hour car ride for nothing we got there. The caves are worth it but you need to be fit because you are climbing to get to these. Great trip overall!</p>
