Hi, is it worth traveling to longqing gorge (beijing)?

Since you haven't got much time in beijing, I suggest you not go and see longqing gorge. January is not a good time to visit beijng. It's far more cold in mountain area. Also the lantern is boring. There are many ways to experience life in beijing other than going to parks or places of interest, for instance taking a walk around HouHai( A lake) in snow. Or you can order a free ticket to museums in advance like Beijing Capital Museum-antiques and artworks are on display-which is a good way to get aware of beijing's culture and custom. Below is a web site where you can take a brief look at longqing gorge. Being a native in beijing , I hope i have made it clear and it may help you a little. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email. WELECOME TO BEIJING^_^
