On this trip we will visit the valley where a Tang Dynasty ruler* and his followers created an inter-connected series of cave dwellings after fleeing from a coup.
(* that it was a Tang Dynasty ruler is under debate; no one seems to know for sure!)
After the visit to the caves, we'll get an early dinner out in the country, and then head straight for the amazing show at the Longqingxia Ice Festival.
The Longqingxia Ice Festival is sort of a mini-Harbin Ice Festival – smaller in scale, but closer to Beijing … and we're pretty sure it's not going to be -40°C!
We'll organise our visit at Longqingxia as sort of free time – with two hours to look around, you can stick with the group or explore by yourself, and we'll all meet up again back at the bus at the predetermined time.
This trip is suitable for children (no pushchairs, though) – it’s quite easy (not tough enough to count as a hike, even), and the cave dwellings are sure to spark the imagination.
Cost: ¥555 / ¥500 for members / ¥300 for kids
