Longtanjian Natural Scenic Area

The Longtan River in Longtanjian Natural Scenic Area is known as the first drifting place in northern Beijing. In the summer rainy season, the white waves are surging, ups and downs, and it is spectacular. The drifting section is very long, and the two banks are like knives and axes. The dangerous and spectacular places of the Three Gorges are everywhere. Suddenly, the mountains and rivers are open, the beaches are sparkling, and the pebbles are rolling; suddenly, the willows on the bank are lightly swaying, the river grass is lush, and the river fish and shrimps swim in the deep and shallow, leisurely and contented. The drifting period is from May to October every year. The famous drifting section is the "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon" in Beijing. The Longtan River here makes a 180-degree turn in a hurry where there are cliffs and wild peaks on both sides. The turbulent water, its steepness, its beauty, and its mystery are the same as the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, which makes experts applaud. The feeling of drifting here is like a trip to the Three Gorges. It was rated as "the most challenging place among the 50 beautiful places in the suburbs of Beijing" by Sohu.com. There are many historical sites along the rafting route, including the stone will of Mu Guiying, a female general of the Jin Dynasty, the will of the ancient plank road, stone men, stone jars and other landscapes. Rafting is fun and thrilling. You can enjoy it alone or with three or five people. You can compete or have fun. You can paddle the raft quickly or drift at your own will.
