青龙峡曾为明长城要塞“大水峪关”，实际是个水库，过去叫大水峪水库，后来在出口修了拦河大坝，水库形状如一条青龙故改名青龙峡。位于北京市怀柔区城20公里处，是集青山、绿水、古长城于一体的自然风景区，南邻风光旖旎的雁栖湖，独特的塞外气候，凉爽宜人，是人们远离闹市喧哗，寻觅山水静地，回归山野自然的好去处。
Qinglong Gorge was once "Dashuiyuguan" of the Great Wall fortress of the Ming Dynasty. It was actually a reservoir. It used to be called Dashuiyu Reservoir. Later, a dam was built at the exit. The shape of the reservoir was like a Qinglong, so it was renamed Qinglong Gorge. Located 20 kilometers away from Huairou District, Beijing, it is a natural scenic spot with green hills, green waters and ancient Great Wall. It is adjacent to Yanqi Lake with beautiful scenery in the south. Its unique climate outside the fortress is cool and pleasant. It is a good place for people to stay away from the noisy city, search for the quiet land of mountains and rivers and return to the nature of mountains and wilderness.
青龙峡风景区由万里长城登城游览、苍龙峡观飞龙瀑和青龙峡水上游乐三大景区组成。青龙桥至峡区最北部，设有多种游乐项目，有蹦极、滑索、缆车、攀岩，呐喊喷泉，水上乐园等单独收费项目，其中属蹦极和缆车最为亮眼！
