Bungee jumping downhill speedboat cableway and enjoying Qinglong Gorge!

The last time I came to Huairou Qinglong Gorge was nearly 20 years ago. The Qinglong Gorge, which integrates green mountains, green waters and ancient Great Wall, is not only suitable for challenging the limits, but also suitable for visiting ancient range rovers. Bold friends can try bungee jumping and downhill rock climbing. If you don't have the courage to experience the limits, you can take a speedboat to shuttle between the canyons or take a cableway to overlook the Qinglong Scenic Area.

The Qinglong Gorge Dam, located in the center of the scenic area, divides the scenic area into two parts: upper and lower. Above is a water tourist area, with a water depth of 40 to 50 meters. You can take speedboats, ancient painted boats, luxury cruise ships, etc. Below is the shallow water area. There is water all year round. The water depth is less than 1 meter. You can row bamboo rafts, paddle boats, etc.

Want to overlook the entire Qinglong Gorge? Be sure to come and take the Qinglong Gorge Cableway. It is 800 meters long and has a drop of 369 meters. As it slowly climbs up the mountain, you will gradually have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Qinglong Gorge. When you arrive at the top of the mountain, you can slowly walk to the beacon tower, where you can overlook the Miyun Reservoir, the winding Great Wall, the prosperous landscape of the Guomao CBD, and 10,000 acres of fertile farmland in the northern Beijing Plain.

On the mountains on both sides of the canyon, we can see the remains of the ancient Great Wall. The Ancient Great Wall of Qinglong Gorge was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. It was the fortress of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, connecting Simatai in Miyun County to the east and the Mutianyu Great Wall to the west. The mountains are steep and the terrain is complex. The well-preserved towers now include Doulou Tower, Xishan Tower, Nanyading Tower and Houfeng Tower on Dongshan, Huigong Tower and Nianzi Tower.

Qinglong Gorge is also a good place to challenge the limits and let yourself fly. When you come here, you can challenge bungee jumping downhill and rock climbing. The bungee jumping height is about 60 meters, and the rock climbing height is 20 meters. There are 2 junior and advanced tracks. The downhill spans Longxia Lake, with a total length of 320 meters, with a drop of 28 meters). You can also take a speedboat to shuttle between the canyons and feel the freedom of the wind above the blue waves. There are also interactive experiences such as bamboo rafts and shouting springs in shallow water areas.

"Swim" Yanqi Lake by boat, making it even more dreamy when night falls!

The convening of the APEC meeting has made Yanqi Lake a world focus and tourist hotspot. On sunny days, if you want to find a place to relax, come to Yanqi Lake!

Walking along the bank of Yanqi Lake and passing through the colorful windmill corridor, the breeze blowing from the lake slowly turns the windmill, and gently jumping up and beating the wind chimes. The good mood of vacation comes to your face.

The sun shines through the green shade and casts mottled tree shadows. You can stroll under the shade or sit on a chair and take a nap. If you want to experience speed and passion, you can also take a ride on the rapids and have a refreshing ride, or take a water descent to experience Yanqi from a different perspective.

Yanqi Lake Scenic Area also has many cute little yellow ducks and Nemo cruise ships. In addition, there are more than ten kinds of land entertainment projects such as bumper cars, anime trains, and merry-go-round. It is very suitable for bringing children and their families to travel!

It is also recommended to sit around the lake in a dragon boat to experience the beauty of Yanqi. The breeze is gentle and the blue waves are rippling. On the boat, you can have a close view of the APEC International Conference Center, Yanqi Tower, Yanqi Hotel and 12 state-level villas, etc. Yanqi Pagoda is the tallest building on the core island. It is a nine-story and eight-sided pavilions style ancient landscape tower with a height of 58.7 meters. The sunrise Oriental Kempinski Hotel has the most eye-catching silver disc shape, and the unique glass curtain wall seems to be like a sun rising from below the lake.

Recently, Yanqi Lake Scenic Area has also launched a night voyage project. After night falls, the natural landscape of Yanqi Lake is more charming against the colorful lights, with a unique charm. Moreover, the Yanqi Tower at night is outlined by the lights to make it dreamy, and the silver-white sunrise Oriental Hotel is also like a bright moon, complementing the bright moon in the sky.

Stay at No. 535 B & B for an exquisite dinner on the mountain view terrace!

Although Huairou is very close to the city, it is still recommended to find a B & B to stay for one night. With friends, you can enjoy the sunshine, flowers, brown bear afternoon tea in the afternoon, and enjoy the terrace and evening breeze at sunset. It is not too beautiful!

It is 3 kilometers away from Qinglong Gorge, 4.5 kilometers from Yanqi Lake, 6.8 kilometers from Hongluo Temple, and 4.4 kilometers from Huairou Reservoir. It is very suitable for arranging a 2-3-day self-driving tour in Huairou on weekends or short holidays. We stayed here.

Beijing No. 536 Courtyard B & B used to be a rolling mill. Later, it was redesigned and renovated by designers. It retained the original factory structure and production machinery and equipment, and combined it with modern decoration styles to perfectly mix industrial style and pastoral style. The building with a brick wall structure is full of industrial style. There are still old objects of machinery and equipment in the courtyard. Green creepers decorate the concrete pipes in the courtyard, like a hut where Hobbits live. Roses of various colors and vibrant vegetables are planted in the courtyard. Afternoon is the most suitable time to take photos in the courtyard.

When you come to 536 Boutique B & B, you can choose a standard room or an independent courtyard. The independent courtyard can accommodate 7-9 people. Sitting in the small courtyard of the standard room, you can enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. A small independent courtyard has a single courtyard, and there is also a Jacuzzi multi-person bathtub in the open-air courtyard. It usually has 3-4 bedrooms, suitable for friends or several families together.

The public space here is also very large. The comprehensive hall is enough for 60 people to carry out activities. Afternoon tea or breakfast is here every day. There is also a viewing terrace upstairs with a view of the mountain scenery and the Great Wall. At sunset, book dinner in advance. The evening breeze blows, lights are littered with exquisite food, and there is also a great location to enjoy the mountain scenery of the Great Wall. With friends, get drunk and chat, perfect!
