Dragon's Gate Ravine, in the Mentougou District of Beijing, is the site of two gorges through which run tributaries of the Qingshui River. Dragon Pool Waterfall is a meter-wide curtain dropping six meters to the pool below. High humidity and shaded walls in the narrow ravine ensure low temperatures even in the summer.
