Itinerary
After morning pickup at your Beijing hotel, travel in a private vehicle to the Longqing Gorge (Longqingxia Gorge), located about 55 miles (90 km) north of downtown Beijing. Flanked on both sides by green peaks and capped to the north by the Gucheng Reservoir, built in 1981, the gorge offers peaceful yet dramatic scenery of wooded mountains, curious stones, and karst caves. During a 1.5-hour cruise through the ravine, feel the gentle breeze blowing against your face and enjoy the view of passing attractions like Baihua (Hundred Flowers) Cave and the Shenxianyuan (Immortal) and Jingang temples.
After the morning boat ride, enjoy a lunch of regional cuisine at a famer's house. Continue on to Badaling ancient Great Wall. Which is the unrestored section and with much less tourist. You could enjoy the hiking and taking beautiful pictures there. After the full-day tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel in downtown Beijing.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour!
Jeffery was a knowledgeable and fantastic tour guide. Yang was a safe and experienced driver. Experienced amazing views of the Great Wall with less people around. River gorge was also very beautiful and peaceful.
absolutely amazing tour
this was the best tour i took in China so far ! Our tour guide was Maggie and she was amazing !!! she went above and beyond to make us happy. Incredible experience. we also paid a little extra and went up on cable cars at the Gorge. it was very nice. Beautiful views . Maggie was knowledgeable and very sweet. i needed to exchange some money and she found a bank that was open to help us out . The unrestored part of the wall was great ! almost no people. We took great pictures overall , it was a good choice of the tour and i definitely recommend it . Ask for Maggie !
