Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, located in Beijing's Huairou District, is a unique section of the Great Wall where ancient fortifications meet a serene reservoir. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it features three segments that submerge into the lake, creating a rare "wall in water" spectacle. This site combines historical grandeur with natural beauty, offering stunning views of the wall winding over mountains and dipping into clear waters. Visitors can explore watchtowers, hike scenic trails, cruise the lake, and discover a 600-year-old chestnut garden. It's a perfect blend of culture and landscape, providing a less crowded yet equally magnificent Great Wall experience.

We will pick you up from your downtown Beijing hotel for a direct drive to Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a relaxed three-hour hike along various sections, exploring ancient watchtowers and beacon towers while admiring the scenic landscapes. Nestled in Huairou District about 60 km from central Beijing, Huanghuacheng is known for its unique "Water-Great Wall" where stone ramparts meet serene waters. Built in the Ming Dynasty under General Cai Kai, it once guarded the capital and imperial tombs. Its striking feature—three segments diving into and re-emerging from the lake—was created by a 1970s reservoir that partially flooded the structure. After the visit, we will return you to your Beijing hotel.
