The first thing for today is mountain climbing, it will take around 2-3 hours and do some other sports on the way. Qinglong Gorge is located 20 kilometers northwest of Huairou, the so-called "black dragon" valley is home to a reservoir spanning 55.6 km2, part of which is open to tourists for boating and yachting. Besides that, the mountain has a wild section of the Great Wall that has not been renovated. The hills here are not as steep as Longqing Gorge, while unique views of the Great Wall add much appeal. It is best to take a cable car up the mountains, explore by foot, and then walk down. The area offers various activities, including bungee jumping, hang gliding, and numerous water activities. Visitors can either paddle on bamboo rafts and boats in the one meter deep southern part of the reservoir, or cruise on a boat in the northern part, where the waters run 40 to 50 meters deep. The apex of the gorge is called the Platform of the Jade Emperor and offers a wonderful view of the surrounding areas.

After lunch, continue your journey to Qinglong lake. The Qinglong Lake Water Amusement Park with a water surface area of 4,000 hectares (659 acres), it has the largest bathing beach in Beijing where 10,000 people can bath and play. Thus, it enjoys the fame of 'Little Coast in Beijing'. The lake was once a reservoir and developed as a tourist resort in 1995. Nowadays, it has become a large comprehensive area dedicated to entertainment, body-building, leisure and sightseeing. The lake is like a valuable sapphire embedded in the area. When the lake is calm and weather is fine, the blue sky, white clouds, trees and hills are reflected in the large mirror, forming a stunning picture. When a breeze blows, the waves ripple as if a naughty girl winks. The lake sparks in the brilliant sunlight and the distant hill looks like an overlapping landscape.

After the tour, you will be taken back to your Beijing hotel or drop off at Beijing train station.
