In winter, Longqing Gorge Scenic Area turns its frozen canyon into a Glacier Canyon Playground. Visitors can try snow tubes, ice sleds, or ice bicycles—or simply run a few steps on the ice and then glide, instantly reclaiming the pure joy of childhood.

At night Longqing Gorge offers a different magic. Along the path to the ice-lantern zone, countless lights come alive: drone light shows, tree lights, and decorative lanterns flicker like flames, warming the cold night with brilliant colors. Inside the ice-lantern exhibition, light passes through ice sculptures and scatters into a kaleidoscope of hues.
