Experience the wild beauty of the Water Great Wall
Huanghuacheng Great Wall, a unique section of the Great Wall lying among mountains and water. Nestled 75 km north of central Beijing in Huairou District. During Ming Dynasty, ancient Chinese people built up a reservoir to provide water for the defense of the Great Wall. The reservoir creates a wonderful scene with the Great Wall. Appearing to be floating on the water, earning it the nickname 'Water Great Wall'. Surrounded by lush mountains and vibrant wildflowers in summer, Huanghuacheng offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city and crowded tourist spots like Badaling or Mutianyu. Huanghuacheng blends wild, unrestored sections with partially restored paths, offering an authentic and less-crowded experience. In this journey, you will experience something that 99.99% of Chinese people have never experienced before.
