Shuanglong Gorge

Shuanglong Gorge

Shuanglong Gorge is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Destination Introduction: Shuanglong Gorge is a newly developed scenic area in western Beijing, often referred to as the "Little Jiuzhaigou" or the "Hundred Waterfalls." Its highest peak, Laolongwo, stands at an elevation of 1,646 meters and features two major waterfalls over 29 meters high, along with nearly a hundred smaller ones under a few meters. The area is composed of stunning landscapes including heavenly streams, pools, green valleys, and red cliffs. In spring, the mountains are covered with blooming flowers and fragrant scents; in summer, the valley stays cool with babbling brooks and gushing springs, while shaded areas showcase ice-like green trees alongside ancient poplars, willows, and century-old kiwi vines that create a jungle-like atmosphere; in autumn, the crisp air and vibrant red leaves against the blue sky and white clouds offer breathtaking views that are truly unforgettable. Here, you can also take a unique forest train that winds through the mountains, adding to the serene experience.

Major attractions include: Train Station at 1,040m; Yulong Lake at 1,020m; First Waterfall at 308m; Twin Dragons Playing with Water at 203m; Little Jiuzhaigou Entrance at 447m; Wild Kiwi Forest (200 years old) at 482m; Immortal Gathering Willow & Wild Kiwi (300 years old) at 460m; Second Waterfall.

Aside from enjoying the natural scenery, you can also pick the specialty red apricots of Huocun Village around late June to early July. Around September 10th, there are about 3,000 walnut trees available for picking. After National Day, the red leaves covering the mountains are especially captivating. Other recreational activities include fishing, boating, bonfires, picnics, and setting off firecrackers.

The scenic area is equipped with complete basic service facilities, including a conference room that can accommodate 50–100 people. When night falls, gather under the starry sky for a bonfire party, where you can forget the fatigue of travel and enjoy a peaceful rural evening. Accommodation Information
