Highlights
- Three gorges of cliffs, rivers and the 290 m Bailixia glass walkway — an adventure valley 2h from Beijing
- Yesanpo Gorge is a vertical world — the view is from above (plank walks) and below (river boats).
- The gorge narrows are best at midday light; mornings hold mist, afternoons bring tour groups.

What to know
Getting there
Reach Baoding by rail/flight then 60–90 min bus or shuttle to the gorge mouth; some need a boat transfer.
Insider tips
- Wear grippy shoes — boardwalks are safe but steep; wet season makes steps slick.
- Check glass-walkway and boat segments separately: they're often extra tickets.
Where to stay
Stay in Baoding (mid-range ¥300–600; luxury from ¥800) — see the hotel map layer.
