Longmen GullyⅠ

Longmen Gully is located in Qingshui Town, Mentougou District, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) west of Beijing. It is characterized by natural beauty, historical relics, and religious culture.

A wide variety of natural beauty can be seen here: the imposing gully itself, the graceful hills, the elegant spring, and the sheer waterfall. The scenic area is rich in flora and fauna, with more than 700 species of wild life, ranging from pheasants to flying squirrels, and about 840 varieties of plants, some of which are sources for traditional Chinese medicines. A fantastic Karst landscape, which is rare in Northern China, can also be seen here. Precisely because of its omniform canyons, various gullies and grand stone forests, it referred to as 'Northern China's geological museum'.
