Itinerary Quick Look
We’re happy to offer you an English-speaking driver for your Beijing tour to match your interests. Please note that the time frame is for reference only and may vary due to traffic conditions on the day of your tour.
An English-speaking private driver will meet you in the hotel lobby, as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge.
Longqing Gorge
Upon arrival, your English driver will assist you with purchasing tickets and cable car service (own expense), you can take a cable car up to the Longqing Gorge dam, where you’ll enjoy stunning views of the gorge and its emerald green waters. From there, embark on a leisurely boat ride through the narrow gorge, gliding past towering cliffs and picturesque rock formations. The boat ride is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the tranquility of this "natural wonder," as the winding river offers panoramic views of rocky peaks, hidden caves, and cascading waterfalls.
Guyaju Caves
After lunch (own expense), visit the fascinating Guyaju Caves, known as China’s largest ancient cave dwelling complex, located a short drive from Longqing Gorge. Carved over 1,000 years ago, this cliffside site features more than 140 rooms once used as homes, showcasing the ingenuity of its ancient builders. Wander through the unique chambers, some with multiple rooms and others nestled high in the cliffs, while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. This hidden gem offers a peaceful and uncrowded experience, perfect for history and nature enthusiasts alike.
