It is quite rare to see the inner section of Great Wall which is more of an additional protection to both dead💀 and alive, in the past. Yes, the Huanghuacheng (黄花城) section of Great Wall was built during Ming dynasty to protect further invasion from North. Also there are kings🤴 who have built mausoleum in here, which the wall protects. Although the main purpose of Wall 🧱 is security, it also has provided a scenic view combining both lake and mountain. This is more of a wild section of Great Wall where you can do some hiking; which after 5 hours will lead you to Mutianyu section. Thus section acts as a connectivity between other sections of the Wall. We did a hiking🥾 of three hours then returned back. Be sure to have your own sanitary things and food, as it is tough to buy around here. Otherwise, it is really a fun trip !! 🥳 #couplestrip #greatwallofchina #hiking #beijingtrip#urbanexplorer

One of the sections of the Great Wall that is obviously by the lake. Some of the portions of the wall are already submerged after a long time. It is a nice place to go since you can enjoy walking up and down the mountains and also have a nice view of the lake. #urbanexplorer #beijingtrip

Being one of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China (长城) is the second most visited wonders, after the Effiel Tower in Paris. If at all you are looking for a short vacation and you're new to China, then I would suggest this is the place to start with. As the Great Wall is quite long, there are different sections of it that people love it. But especially, during any holidays even be it a weekend, the most famous ones like Badaling and Mutianyu are too much crowded as it is a must visit for the local tourists coming from different provinces. So it's always better to take an offbeat destination, where the beauty of it is serene and calm. In fact, I felt the whole section of that Great Wall is mine haha. So here's an isolated section named as Huang hua cheng(黄花城), you have to drive a little bit away from Beijing. Just putting up in Baidu would help, but we hired a car to go and come back on that day; as we also planned to go for an early hike to see the sunrise over the Great Wall which is once in a lifetime experience. If there's anything that you can squeeze in a 3 day trip, taking this offbeat path is a totally worthy one. P.S. As it is not maintained as tourist places, have your own sanitary and snacks/water stuffs. Have a great vacation guys !! #qingmingtravel #beijingtravel #greatwall #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Of the many Great Walls I visited, the Great Wall adjacent to the lake and river is what I like the most. The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, offers a fresh, peaceful and beautiful view. Although to get to the Great Wall requires a little climb, but not too high. There are two alternatives to surround the lake, walk using the trail or do a cruise using a boat. The entrance ticket price is 60 RMB, while for a cruise it is 25 RMB for one way. #givethanks

#cherryblossom2024 Another good spot to enjoy this season in Beijing. I'll review about one of the top spring outing this time, called Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall. It's also a part of Great Wall that has some unique beauties, such as lakeside (also boat sailing service), reservoir, etc. Please prepare a day with full energy when you come here ✨😸 I don't recommend to come here if you only have less than 6 hours transit in Beijing since it's located 1.5 hours driving (one way) from the downtown. Then, explore this area for less than 3 hours is not enough. Trust me! Since it's super fun and amazing 🎈❤️

Visited one of the best spot in Beijing, called Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall a few weeks ago. Located 80 km from downtown Beijing to the north, this place is such a piece of heaven on earth. It was beautiful and magical. Once you enter the area, you'll be spoiled by many kinds of scenic spots. Moreover, if you come in spring season, it's getting more beautiful since the flowers are blooming everywhere. Some tips for visiting here: ✨ I recommend you to join a group tour if it's your first time, take an online taxi or rent a car with local driver to reach this area. ✨ Bring your own water bottle and powerbank. ✨ Please prepare a wind breaker. Moreover in spring, the wind blows strongly here. #chinatrip
