The Longqing Gorge
The Longqing Gorge boasts not only forceful and spectacular mountains in the north, but also beautiful and charming scenery in the south. It is cool every summer with clean air, and the temperatures are often 6 degrees Celsius lower than that in urban Beijing. It is cold in winter with a long icing period. Since 1987, the Ice Lantern Festival has been celebrated from January to the late February, showcasing the large-scale outdoor open-air ice lanterns in the lowest-latitude area in the world. The Longqing Gorge provides nearly 200 tour boats in different sizes. All boats have catering, accommodation and other kinds of supportive travel service facilities.
