The beautiful Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall is located in Huairou District, about 60 kilometers (37.3 miles) from Beijing. It was named for the abundant yellow flowers that bloom in midsummer. It is also known as the Great Wall under the Water, because three separate sections of the wall are submerged in the Xishuiyu Reservoir. You will find the harmonious mixture of the splendid great wall, beautiful mountains and blue water surrounding there. Come and enjoy the nature and the amazing view on this unrestored great wall. This private tour will take you directly to Huanghuacheng Great Wall from your hotel in Beijing, and you can 100% enjoy the hiking time on the Great Wall there.

Itinerary
In the morning, our staff will come to pick you up in your hotel lobby (or at your requested time before 3:00pm), then take you to Huanghuacheng Great Wall directly.
The Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders in the world. Huanghuacheng is the only lakeside Great Wall in Beijing. It is one of the top destinations for a Great Wall hiking tour.
The Huanghuacheng Great Wall used to be one of the strongest wall in Beijing. It was built by General Cai in Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644). Its construction took many years to accomplish. Some traitorous officials scolded that he had spent so much money in building the wall. The emperor was very angry with General Cai. Later he ordered General beheaded!
Years later, the emperor asked his ministers to check the wall and realized that he had treated General wrongly. The wall was extremely fortified. The emperor asked the craftman to carve two Chinese characters - "Jin Tang" by the wall, literally meaning "Gold Soup" - the firm and strong. The Huangcheng Great Wall is often called "Jintang Great Wall". The lake by the wall is called Jintang Lake.
You will enjoy the hiking on the Wall and having the beautiful view of the Jintang Lake.
