Qingliang Valley

Qingliang Valley, also referred to by its literal name "Cool Valley", is a scenic area in Miyun District on the outskirts of Beijing. It is located in the Yunmeng Mountains and features a picturesque natural landscape. It also includes the Waterfall Cave, with the ever-flowing Baishui River passing in front of it. Its unique location and environment creates a favorable climate, as temperatures in the nearby Qingliang Valley are usually 5-6 degrees Celsius lower than in the city.

The waterfalls and ponds are the essence of the valley. In wet or dry seasons, the falls are always abundant in water and the ponds are crystal clear throughout the year. A four-km course is dotted with five waterfalls and 13 ponds, varied in size and shape. The famous Waterfall Cave is 230 meters deep, with the waterfall cascades beside it concealing the entrance of the cave like a colossal water curtain. The cave itself is at an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.

Visitors can select tourist activities to enjoy at the "travel supermarket" and pay at the "cash register" at the exit gate when leaving; as its motto goes, "enjoy first and pay later." Visitors can also choose activities such as bamboo rafting, boating and water fighting. In addition, about 2,000 kg of fish have been released into the water for fishing and general appreciation. Anyone who catches a fish can keep it free of charge. Qingliang Valley is also fully equipped with dining and lodging facilities and is specially known for its local rural cuisine.
