For this very easy stroll we will travel to Yanqing County to visit a valley where we’ll find an ancient interconnected series of cave dwellings. This trip is suitable for children (no pushchairs, though) – it’s very easy, and the sight of the cave dwellings is sure to spark the imagination.

After visiting the caves we'll get an early dinner out in the country before heading for the Longqingxia Ice Festival, where we'll see all the amazing ice sculptures and lanterns – perhaps not quite as grand as the Harbin Festival, but also definitely not as cold!
