The Longqing Gorge Scenic Area is located 90km northwest of Beijing. Within the gorge is the largest dam in northern China, more than 70m high. It created a lake behind it that provides a man-made waterfall during summer. From the entrance, one takes the world's longest elevator ride (258m in 8 sections) to the top of the dam. The elevator is enclosed in a giant dragon design and was built in 1996, also named the 'Soaring Dragon Elevator'.
