Overview

This private day tour takes you to visit both Guyaju Cave Dwellings and Longqingxia Gorge in Beijing. You will be able to see 174 amazing caves in Guyaju, which were reportedly carved by an ethnic minority called the Xiyi during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). Most of the caves are bunched together in two rock face villages, resembling ant farms for humans. In addition, take a fun boat ride in beautiful Longqing Gorge where you will see clear waters, wooded mountains, curious stones and wonderful karst caves. Lunch, entrance fees, private guide and driver service are all inclusive.

Itinerary

  • Longqing Gorge

    After morning pickup at your Beijing hotel, travel in a private vehicle to the Longqing Gorge (Longqingxia Gorge), located about 55 miles (90 km) north of downtown Beijing. Flanked on both sides by green peaks and capped to the north by the Gucheng Reservoir, built in 1981, the gorge offers peaceful yet dramatic scenery of wooded mountains, curious stones, and karst caves. During a 1.5-hour cruise through the ravine, feel the gentle breeze blowing against your face and enjoy the view of passing attractions like Baihua (Hundred Flowers) Cave and the Shenxianyuan (Immortal) and Jingang temples.

    2 hours

  • Guyaju Caves

    After the morning boat ride, enjoy a lunch of regional cuisine at a famer's house. Continue on to the Guyaju caves, a multi-village complex of more than 170 dwellings carved directly into the rock face. Believed to have been carved by an ethnic minority called the Xiyi between the Tang and Liao Dynasties, the remarkable caves resemble 'ant farms for humans' and consist of rooms of varying shapes and styles complete with doors, windows, kitchen ranges, and closets. After the full-day tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel in downtown Beijing.

A very unique experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Linda Li & our driver Mr Yang. Linda Li has great knowledge and speaks excellent English. The day was packed with activity but very relaxing. We experienced the dramatic beauty of the Longqingxia Gorge and the ancient history of the Guyana caves along with an exquisite lunch. Would highly recommend this trip with Lily’s Beijing Tour Guide.

A special trip to the outside of Beijing

Published on Aug, 2024

This tour is really amazing. Linda teached us many interesting facts. Besides she was really friendly and welcoming. There was no language problem because her English is very good. The shown spots were very amazing and had a stunning view. I would highly recommend the trip because it is very special.

Secret Recommendation

Very friendly tour guide. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about chinese history. If you want to see something that is not so much overrun, you should consider trying this. The view and the landscape is gorgeous!

Fantastic tour to Longqingxia Gorge and Guyana Caves

Published on May, 2024

Fantastic tour away from the busy Beijing traffic. Our English speaking guide Jeffery (Mr Lou) and driver Mr Sun were excellent. We were very happy with the boat trip in Longqingxia gorge. The Krast mountains scenery is absolutely awesome. The relics of Guyana caves were also very interesting. Jeffery was very polite and answered all our questions. The food provided was good at a nice restaurant. The drive was very comfortable and smooth, as each way was roughly two hours. The car was clean and spacious and even had phone charging outlets. I would highly recommend this tour and should be on the must do list in Beijing.

A one day nature trip not to be missed!

Published on May, 2024

This is an excellent one-day trip to spend some time in the scenic landscapes outside Beijing. The schedule is well organized so each stop can be appreciated without rush and Jeffrey is an amazing tour guide! Very informative conversations and very willing to even adjust the schedule upon our request. Very comfortable and highly recommended experience!
