Beijing your way holiday

Qinglong Gorge boasts a rich history and a consistently pleasant climate year-round. Set in a mountainous region, its unique geography ensures crystal-clear waters meandering around dramatic peaks and steep cliffs, creating a distinctive climate characterized by frequent winds and ample rainfall, with an annual precipitation of about 800mm. The gorge is centered around a reservoir that divides it into four distinct areas: south, north, west, and east.The southern part of the gorge is ideal for bamboo rafting and hand rowing, with water depths carefully controlled to maintain a serene environment, typically less than 1 meter deep. In contrast, the northern section features deeper waters, ranging from 40 to 50 meters, accommodating large-scale motor boats such as dragon boats, painting boats, and speedboats. During the summer months, this area also offers beach bathing facilities for visitors to enjoy.

The adventure starts with a 2-3 hour Mountain Climb, with additional activities along the way. Our destination is Qinglong Gorge, located about 20 kilometers northwest of Huairou. Known as the "Black Dragon" valley, the gorge features a 55.6 km² reservoir, part of which is open for boating and yachting. The area also hosts an unrenovated, wild section of the Great Wall, offering an authentic experience of this ancient structure in a more natural setting. Unlike the steep slopes of Longqing Gorge, Qinglong’s hills are gentler, providing a unique view of the Great Wall. A cable car ride takes you up to the mountain’s summit, where you can explore on foot before descending. Visitors can paddle on bamboo rafts or boats in the southern part of the reservoir, where the water is about one meter deep, or enjoy a boat cruise in the northern section, with depths of 40-50 meters. At the top of the gorge, the Platform of the Jade Emperor offers wide views of the surrounding landscape. Whether hiking, boating, or simply soaking in the scenery, Qinglong Gorge promises a memorable experience, blending natural beauty with historical significance.

After lunch, continue your journey to Qinglong Lake, home to the Qinglong Lake Water Amusement Park, which covers 4,000 hectares (659 acres). This park features Beijing’s largest bathing beach, where up to 10,000 people can relax and play, earning it the nickname "Little Coast in Beijing." Originally a reservoir, the lake was developed into a tourist resort in 1995, and today, it serves as a popular destination for entertainment, fitness, leisure, and sightseeing.

The lake is often described as a precious sapphire set in the landscape. On calm days, the still waters reflect the blue sky, white clouds, trees, and hills in a clear mirror image. A gentle breeze creates ripples across the water, making it appear as if the lake itself is alive. Under the bright sunlight, the lake sparkles, and the distant hills blend smoothly with the horizon, offering a picturesque and peaceful escape. Whether for relaxation or recreation, Qinglong Lake is a serene and scenic spot to enjoy.

After the tour concludes at Qinglong Gorge, your guide will ensure a smooth and punctual return to your Beijing hotel or drop-off at Beijing airport or train station, accommodating your preferred schedule and transportation needs. The itinerary is fully flexible and can be customized to suit your preferences, allowing you to make the most of your time in Beijing.

Honestly, our day at Qinglong Gorge was amazing! The booking was super easy — they replied fast, answered all our questions, and planned a smooth itinerary. Our guide was awesome, full of stories about the gorge, its nature, and local legends, making everything fun without rushing us. The driver was on time, safe, and totally in sync with the guide, so the day ran perfectly. The scenery was stunning — clear water, lush mountains, and peaceful spots everywhere. Riding the cable car over the gorge was so chill and gave us the best views. Everything was super well organized, so we could just relax and enjoy every moment.

We love hiking, so this Qinglong Gorge tour was exactly what we were looking for! The views were absolutely stunning, like every corner had a new jaw-dropping sight. The hike was a good challenge but totally worth it, and our guide was super thoughtful, always checking in to make sure we were okay. The air was so fresh, the waterfall was huge, and the whole place just had such a chill vibe. If you're into nature and love hiking, this is definitely something you shouldn’t miss. We had an awesome time and can’t wait for our next trip!

My parents took me to Qinglong Gorge, and it was SO much fun! The waterfall was huge and so cool, I couldn’t stop looking at it. We walked a lot, but it didn’t feel too tiring because the guide was really nice and kept talking to me, so it was fun. The trees and flowers were so pretty too, and I even saw some little animals! It felt like an adventure. I can’t wait to tell my friends all about the big waterfall!
