Beijing gets hot in summer … very hot! What better way to cool down than with a stroll down a river?
The White River is one of the rivers that feed the big Miyun Reservoir, and the river winds its way down a long canyon with dramatic cliffs and outcrops.
We had blue skies and hot weather on this walk – perfect!
Getting started near a village beside the river.
Part of the trail took us along roads beside the river.
Some of the roads were built up by the companies that run the floating activities along the river – it’s a popular place to visit.
We walked beside the river, and then headed up to follow a path a little higher up.

The path took us to this wobbly swing bridge.
Blue skies and lots of green – very scenic.

Time to get the feet wet.

First dip the toes in …
Here’s how our hiking guides do it – get straight in there.
We waded through this section.
Some rafts were still coming downstream.

No need to get the feet wet on this crossing.
