Out & About
Immortal valley loop
Walk up a well-maintained scenic trail, to a peak 800-m above sea level. Have lunch while enjoying a bird's eye-view of the valley. The first section of the trail is through a park and is well shaded by leafy trees. A clear stream runs down the valley, passing large granite boulders, forming natural pools, and flowing off cliffs in waterfalls that are up to 20 meters high. The full loop walk is long and challenging.
Meet at Lido Starbucks (north-east gate of Lido Holiday Inn, 6 Jiangtailu, Chaoyang district) for bus transportation. Visit www.beijinghikers.com for reservation and more information.
