Qinglong Gorge
青龙峡
A deeply cut gorge of the Taihang Mountains in western Xiuwu County, where streams, waterfalls and red rock cliffs come together, with fewer visitors than Yuntai Mountain.
Qinglong Gorge lies in Xicun Township, Xiuwu County. It is a deeply incised gorge on the southern foothills of the Taihang Mountains, about 20 km long, with streams, pools and waterfalls linked along its length and towering red quartz sandstone cliffs on both sides. The vegetation is dense, and in autumn the hillsides turn red. Walking the boardwalk along the valley floor, you can see many waterfalls and deep pools. It sees fewer crowds than the main Yuntai Mountain area, making it suitable for visitors who prefer quiet. It is about 20 km from Yuntai Mountain, roughly 40 minutes by car. Check the official admission prices, and in the rainy season watch for falling rocks and rising water.
