Fifty miles from Beijing and close to Badaling, Longqing Xia offers scenery fresh from the Three Gorges and makes for a great afternoon pit-stop if you’ve had enough of braving the crowds at the wall. Even getting to the gorge is an experience and involves taking a seemingly never-ending escalator (covered by a model dragon …) to the largest dam in this part of the country.
Beyond here, the emerald green water gives way to craggy limestone peaks and there’s the option of taking a boat ride, bungee jumping or, if you come in January or February, Longqing holds a smaller version of the famous Harbin Ice Festival, complete with brightly lit ice sculptures and a frozen waterfall – which are worth enduring the cold for.
