There are very few people to be found here, but it is becomingpopular with hikers.There is a lake and a crescent shaped reservoir nearby. And the lake breaks this sectionof the Great Wall into three segments naturally. Part of the wall is under water and becomes submerged at high tide. So the Huanghuacheng Great Wall is nicknamed "Water Great Wall".The scenery here is unique and will surprise you. « less

I do not believe what I saw, he meant what people used to think of making this long wall, even covering almost all areas of the northern part of china. I can only say wowwwww ..

The grounds and shops leading to the Wall very attractive and surprisingly well designed to blend with the backdrop of the Wall.

The seven wonders of world, the great wall of around 5000 km of china is actually a amazing piece of man made wonders. Also the tianmen Square

it is really a wonder- but very little sign posts- very little history written- cable car up to great wall can be scary - in windy weather. can see rusts on pillars and birds nests too on the pillars close to electric cables. I am sure the authorities take care of safety. Tiolets at the entry point of cable car... More

The scenery was great. You don't actually realise how long the wall is until you see it for yourself. Disliked having to walk past all the stall situated on either side of the walkway where sellers could not take - No thank you I don't want anything for a reply

We spent 5 hours for this place. This part of Great Wall with great view of nature as well as wild life. That was a bit tired but walk along the path, steps was a great experience. Otherwise, the guide was helpful by telling some stories, history about the Great Wall. Many stories concerned about it . We enjoyed our... More

Went here with my girlfriend and my friends. We stayed at a hotel called 山老爷山庄 which is about 1 km away from the gate at Huanghuacheng. We decided to just walk to the wild part of the great wall since it is only 10 mins away from the hotel which is located on a hill. It was a great time... More

If you'd like to see the real Great Wall, not just a place with full of tourists, go to Huanghua! The weather is the best now, actually the sun can be burning. Websites say that this part of the wall is closed because of some construction, but don't worry, you can go in. They will ask you to pay 2... More

The Great Wall at Huanghuacheng is a wonderful location where you can see it. So far it has not been developed as a major tourist destination, so you don’t have to deal with souvenir sellers pestering you or the modern commercial tourist developments that surround many other tourist sites. However, you must be fit and wearing appropriate clothing, especially good... More
