Comparing with the Great Wall sections of Badaling and Mutianyu with full of people and long queue, you must enjoy the peaceful experience at water Great Wall. It's less merchant, less people, and you can take photos without bothered tourist groups, and friendly with drone. It's the only section of the Great Wall in Beijing where parts of the wall are submerged in water, creating a rare and beautiful landscape. And also you will visit Summer Palace where is considered China’s best-preserved royal garden, showcasing classical Chinese garden design on a grand scale. Both offer very different but complementary views of Beijing’s historic landscape.

You will be picked up by private car and English speaking guide from your preferred location in Beijing at pick up time. Then you will be taken to the beautiful countryside of Beijing and visit the Water Great Wall at Huanghuacheng, which is one of the most unique and picturesque sections of the Great Wall in Beijing. Located about 70 km north of the city, this section is famous for its stunning combination of ancient wall ruins and shimmering lakes, where parts of the Great Wall run alongside and even submerge into the water. Surrounded by lush mountains and peaceful scenery, it offers a more tranquil and off-the-beaten-path experience compared to other sections. Ideal for hiking and photography, Huanghuacheng showcases the harmony between historical architecture and natural beauty.
