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. You will take the escalator in the dragon's body. Then take the boat to enjoy the beautiful view of the river and moutain.

After the morning boat ride, enjoy a lunch of regional cuisine at a local restaurant. Continue on to the Badaling Wildlife World. The Badaling Wildlife Park is one of the largest mountain wildlife zoos in China. It lies at the foot of the Great Wall at Badaling with an area of about 988 acres (400 hectares). It's more than 37 miles (60 km) from Beijing, and is adjacent to the Badaling Expressway and the newly built Large Badaling Parking Lot. Boasting about 10,000 animals in more than 100 species, this wildlife park is an ecological tourist park integrating animal watching, leisure, popular science education, and environmental protection. The park contains 20 zones for viewing animals, two for visiting historical sites, four performances centers, and one zone for plants. After the full-day tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel in downtown Beijing.
