Longqingxia, also known as Longqing Gorge or Dragon’s Rejoice Ravine, has been a favored retreat since the Song dynasty. Nestled in the verdant landscapes near Beijing, this lush, green ravine offers a serene escape from the city. Visitors can rent a boat to explore the calm waters or simply admire Rooster Crown Mountain, which, with its distinct shape resembling a reclining rooster, is surrounded by water on three sides. The natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect spot for a day trip.
