Beijing Longqing Gorge




Longqing Gorge, located about 80 km (50 mi) northwest of Beijing, and sometimes referred to as the "Little Three Gorges" (as in the three gorges of the Three Gorges Dam project), is named after Emperor Longqing of the Ming (1368-1644) Dynasty。

Longqing Gorge is known for its ice lantern festival held annually for more than 10 years during every Spring Festival. The gorge is home to Northern China's largest dam, although tourists can scale the dam with the aid of the world's largest escalator (258 meters), known as the Soaring-Dragon Escalator as it is built in the shape of a Chinese dragon.  Tourists can go for a cruise on the lake outside of winter, or can zip-line over the lake.

The Court of Immortal (Shenxianyuan), located on the cliff 200 metres above the water, has now been renovated for tourists to view the gorge's religious evolution. A temple was built in 1639, and the Court of Immortal used to draw thousands of men and women to attend its temple fair held on March 3 in the Chinese lunar calendar.
