Changping Valley

Changping (Long-Peace) Valley is long with gently sloping sides. In this valley, visitors enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. It is the favorite valley for tourists, because you can really get involved with nature. The old cypress path, the Lama Temple, the dry lakes and the waterfalls are peaceful and secluded. Hikers can easily reach Withered-trees (Kushu) Shoal via a plank road built into the cliff. But if you are yearning for the true beauty of Changping (Long-Peace) Valley, you must take a tour on horseback.

The valley floor is well protected by thick forest. Old cypresses, green pines, and firs blot out the sky and the sun. Beyond the forest, a sun-drenched alpine meadow lying at the foot of the mountain catches your eye. When you reach the foot of Mountain Four Girls, pitch your tent, and enjoy mutton roasted on an open fire, you will taste the true favor of nature. How delicious! Exploring Changping (Long-Peace) Valley requires a whole day, and there are no restaurants, so you must bring your own food and supplies into the valley with you.
