Qinglong Gorge
青龙峡
Longxia Lake sits in a gorge of the Yanshan Mountains. A dam at the lake has one of Beijing's best-known bungee jumping sites. You can also take a boat ride or climb the old Great Wall, making it a destination that combines thrills with mountain and water scenery.
Qinglong Gorge lies in Huaibei Town, Huairou District, within the high-mountain gorges of the Yanshan range. Longxia Lake, formed by a dam built across the gorge, is flanked by sheer cliffs. Boats cruise the lake, and along the ridgelines on both sides you'll find Ming-dynasty Great Wall sections and beacon towers. The scenic area is known for its thrill rides. The bungee jump on the dam is one of Beijing's most famous, and there is also rock climbing, zip-lining, and a glass walkway. Winter brings ice and snow activities. This is a national 4A-level scenic area, and admission and activity prices follow the scenic area's notices. It is about 15 minutes by car from Yanqi Lake, so the two can be combined in one day.
