Qingliang Valley

Qingliang Valley

Destination Introduction

The Qingliang Valley Scenic Area is located in Sihetang, Miyun County, Beijing. Situated in the outer region beyond the Great Wall and on the shady slope of Yunmeng Mountain, the area consists of two parts: Qingliang Valley and Shuiliandong (Water Curtain Cave). The perennial Bai River flows right past the entrance of the scenic zone. Its unique geographical location and environment create a refreshingly cool climate here.

The Qingliang Valley Tourist Scenic Area is a streamlined gallery of natural beauty, featuring the following three highlights:

First is the abundant water supply. Whether in dry seasons or rainy weather, visitors can admire the spectacular sight of clear pools and waterfalls.

Second is the high density of pools and waterfalls. Within a four-kilometer stretch, there are thirteen pools and five waterfalls of various shapes and sizes—some spoon-shaped, some cup-like, others resembling eyeglasses. Professor Lu Yunting, a renowned authority in the tourism industry, once visited and remarked that “the density of pools and waterfalls in this scenic area is rare in the suburbs of Beijing.”

Third is the height and uniqueness of the waterfalls. Located five kilometers from the Qingliang Valley entrance, Shuiliandong (Water Curtain Cave) features a cave that extends over 200 meters deep. The waterfall here takes the form of a curtain of water, spanning more than ten meters in width and dropping over eighty meters in height. The cascading water flows from top to bottom like mist or pearls, giving the cave its name. Visitors can feel a refreshing breeze just a few meters away, making the experience delightful, uplifting, and almost otherworldly. This is one of the great wonders of northern China.
