Overview
Longqing Gorge is reputed as the “small Three-Gorges” or “Microcosm of the Yangtse River" in northern China. It features clear waters, wooded mountains, curious stones, and wonderful karst caves. Here the scenery combined both the elegance and charm of the Southern River with the grand and majestic of the Northern canyons.
Guyaju Ancient Cliff Dwellings is a group dwelling carved out from a sandstone rock in the steep cliffs by unidentified ancient Chinese. There are a total of 117 caves and each one was chiseled by doors, windows, brick beds, horse troughs, closets, cooking stoves,s and kangs (a firebox that channels smoke under a bed). It looks like an ancient castle. Since the origin of the caves is still shrouded in mystery, Guyaju Caves is also called “the First Maze in China’.
