Read more about the Great Wall>>
Huanghuacheng Great Wall has long stood out among the Great Wall for its uniqueness and rare beauty. Moreover, Huanghuacheng has long been the most frequent subject of photography lovers.
Depart your hotel at 8:30am
On the way to The HuangHuacheng Great Wall, if traffic allows, stop to photograph the iconic “Bird’s Nest“– the Beijing National Stadium–host to many spectacular events of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
It will take around 2 hours to reach The HuangHuacheng Great Wall. The Huanghuacheng (Yellow Flower City) section of the Great Wall is located in Huairou District, about 60 kilometers (37.3 miles) from Beijing. It is almost 11 kilometers long and joins with Mutianyu Great Wall in the east, and JuyongguanPass and Badaling in the west.
Huanghuacheng Great Wall provides a challenge as it has no stone steps or no single smooth path like the ones found at Badaling and other sections of the Great Wall. Huanghuacheng is named for the sea of yellow wildflowers that bloom in the late spring and early summer, giving sudden exhilarating life to this aged portion of the Wall – Huanghua in Chinese means yellow flower. It is very special – part of the Wall is underwater! Seen from the dam of the reservoir, the stately sunken wall is still visible under the water’s smooth surface. You will also see some of the ancient structures as you hike along.
The entire section of wall comprises of six forts, six passes, twelve beacon-towers, and thirty-two guard towers.
Stop at a Local Restaurant for lunch
Return to hotel around 5pm
Remark: Huanghuacheng Great Wall is an informal section of the Wall without the administration by the local government. You have to take responsibility for your own hiking.
