Longqing Gorge

Dragon Gorge (also called Longqing Canyon) has crystal clear waters and beautiful mountain scenery. The Dragon Gorge is located 85 kilometers northwest of downtown Beijing and 20 kilometers north of the Badaling Great Wall. The gorge is a seven-kilometer karst-type canyon through which the Gucheng River flows. This place represents the grandeur and typical view of North China with a gentle touch of views of South China. "Longqing" is the name of the valley in Chinese. The history of the name goes back to the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty was born in the village of Xiangshuiyuan (Fragrant Garden - Xiangshuiyuan) near the gorge. After his ascension to the throne, Jinshan County, where the village was located, was proclaimed Longqing District. In 1980, the Gucheng River was dammed, resulting in the Gucheng Reservoir. Now tourists can climb this dam on an escalator 258 meters long. The height of the dam is 72 meters - it is one of the highest in Northern China. Construction of the escalator began in October 1994 and ended in April 1996. It was a joint investment of 35 million yuan from China and Hong Kong. The escalator itself is made in the form of a dragon, from which it received the name Soaring Dragon. At one time, he even got into the Guinness Book of Records as the largest dragon in Asia. After climbing to the top of the dam, you can arrange a tour of the reservoir on a boat. The length of the excursion route is about four kilometers. At the same time, the width of the river in different segments ranges from 10 to 50 meters. The mountains on both sides are not very high, but they are incredibly beautiful and artificially ennobled. #longqinggorge #china

#triplocal It was a short trip to mountains in Beijing suburbs. one day is more than enough to visit that place. Road takes at around 3 hours (during National holidays). Beautiful nature, nice views! Entrance ticket is 40 rmb. There are many variants of different activities there, like boat trip (100 rmb), cable cars (50 rmb round trip), sliding (30 rmb) etc. Worth to visit. #triplocal

Tickets can be bought online, there are live rooms selling for 108, others are 120, half price for children and the elderly, because I want paper tickets, I chose to buy tickets at the window on site, otherwise it is recommended to buy online, no need to queue up to scan the code directly. No need to make an appointment, no limit. During the festival, traffic control was in place before four o'clock, and cars could only be parked at the temporary parking lot at the intersection. When there are many people, there is no place. There are villagers in the small woods calling for parking. Don't hesitate to stop during peak hours. Depending on the time, it's 20-30 unlimited time, acceptable. There are about 1500 meters to the ticket office, and more than one kilometer from the ticket office to the entrance of the real lanterns and ice lanterns. It's not far to walk, or you can choose the shuttle bus, 10 yuan per person one way, also bought at the ticket office. The lanterns on the square are better after dark, and the ice lanterns don't matter. Anyway, they are the same indoors at any time.

This year has added Winter Olympics elements, especially many Antarctic scientific research shapes, scientific research ships, Jiaolong, polar huts, etc., the end is the ice waterfall. It's not big, an hour is enough. You can play with snow rings and ride ice cars on the outside ice surface. It is recommended to go in the afternoon, go indoors to see the ice lanterns, come out and it's dark to see the lanterns, and then you can return when the flow of people comes up, you can also avoid the coldest time. It's dark to see the lanterns, and then you can return when the flow of people comes up, you can also avoid the coldest time.
