A karst peak-forest scenic area along both banks of the Juma River in Fangshan District, known as the "Guilin of the North": the name "Shidu" (Ten Ferries) comes from the river's ten ferry crossings, and the area actually stretches about 20 km. Highlights include the "One-Line Sky" gorge at Gushanzhai, the Donghugang waterfalls and bungee jumping at Juma Amusement Park; bamboo-raft drifting, mountain go-karting and other activities are densely packed in. The pricing model - a through ticket plus separately charged activities - suits pay-as-you-go choices, and summer rafting season is the busiest. Good for a two-day trip, reachable by Bus 917 or the Beijing-Yuanping railway.
Getting there: Metro Line 9, transfer to Bus 917 / self-drive
