LongQing Gorge is geographical feature located around 2 hours outside of Beijing City. It is known for its beautiful rock formations as well as nature hikes around the mountains. Getting to the entrance is not difficult as there are many charter buses going that way daily.
龙庆峡距北京两小时车程。它以特有岩石和山间小径著名。 每天有多辆大巴从北京前往龙庆峡。
At the entrance is a tranquil park with an artificial koi lake and some resting areas.
To enter the main area, one must first enter the dragon. Because that is where the escalators are. When you reach the top you are greeted by two choices. A boat to explore the gorge, or a chair-lift to bring you the the beginning of the hiking zone. I did both.
Here are some pictures of the boat ride.
And after the boat ride, time for the chair-lift up to the hiking spot!
It is not terribly long of a hike, but since many of the pictures look the same (or I am saving some of the specific ones for future steemit posts) here is the picture nearing the peak, and the view from the peak. The last picture is quite large, but in my opinion it is the most spectacular...or maybe just because I want to believe the effort of the hike was worth it.
Thanks for reading!!!
