The Water Great Wall is located in Huanghuacheng, Huairou District, Beijing. It was named after a section of the Great Wall was submerged due to the rising water level during the construction of a reservoir, thus forming a unique landscape of "playing in the water at the Great Wall".
Huanghuacheng, where the Water Great Wall is located, has large tracts of yellow wildflowers blooming in midsummer, making it a great place to photograph summer flowers.
The "three unique views" in the scenic area are definitely the biggest attraction. The combination of cultural landscape and natural landscape.
There are also accommodation and other entertainment projects around, which is a good place for leisure.

4/18 Beijing 10-23°C Northeast wind level 3-4 T-shirt + denim jacket + sweatpants + coconut shoes are just right in the morning, you need to take off the jacket at noon.
If you make a plan in advance, you can bring your two dogs with you. You can set off from Tianjin at 5 o'clock and arrive at the P3 parking lot at 8:25 at 3.5 hours.
The water level is low on the left side of the dam at the entrance, and high on the right side. After the dam, there is a small section of the Great Wall on the left side. You can choose to raft or walk downhill to cross the bridge when you get off the Great Wall. You can buy a ticket to take a speedboat on the right side. The speedboat goes directly to the Kuaku Bridge covered with windmills.
Then there is a Peach Blossom Island, which has relatively complete and clean facilities. You can go boating and eat. Then there is the beach 🏖️. In front of it is the Liziyuan of the Ming Dynasty. There is another section of the Great Wall in the garden. There is a pavilion on the way. After coming out of the Liziyuan, there is a flat road and plank road similar to the canyon. There are many small goldfish in the Jade Pond. In front is the Black Tiger Pond.
The two sections of the underwater Great Wall are worth seeing. The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall is particularly well-maintained, and convenient facilities such as handrails have been added. However, because it is too neat, it looks more like an ordinary city wall, rather than a Great Wall that has been guarding for hundreds of years. In addition, there are a lot of amusement facilities, glass bridges, windmills, etc. that have nothing to do with the ancient monuments in the park, making it more like an amusement park. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Isn’t the Osaka Castle also following this route?
After talking about the Great Wall, let’s talk about transportation (this is also the reason why the service score is low, not because of the Great Wall itself, but because the supporting transportation service is too poor!):
Although it is said online that there is a direct express bus from Dongzhimen Transportation Hub/Qianmen Distribution Center to Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, in fact, both sides will tell you: this bus may not be available! So, it is very likely that the final compromise is: take the bus!
Look at the four hits we suffered:
1. Window of Qianmen Tourist Distribution Center: "That route (through train) is not open, don't buy it, you should go to Badaling or Juyongguan"......
2. Dongzhimen Transportation Hub Information Desk: "Come back on the weekend." "The bus may not be running"...
3. As for the bus, haha, the map won't tell you that there is a stop called Goguryeo on the 916 route, and it will not tell you that there will be a market there on Saturdays! Just when we were just relaxing on the bus, a group of healthy aunts and uncles squeezed in, and the bus turned into a can in an instant!
4. The final critical hit: the locals at Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall said, "The through train came here empty this morning" and "I don't know where it stops at Dongzhimen"...
I took the bus for more than 7 hours and climbed the Great Wall for less than 4 hours...
I have hiked the Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall dozens of times, and each time I have a different feeling. I was amazed the first time I came. Hiking on the thousand-year-old Great Wall, the vicissitudes of time have created a sense of heaviness about this Great Wall.
I recommend staying at the Guhuai Restaurant near the ticket office of the Water Great Wall. Their beef brisket, grilled fish and pancakes are especially delicious!
Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall is located in Xishuiyu Village, Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing. There is a reservoir here, called Xishuiyu Reservoir. Due to the construction of the reservoir, the water flooded a section of the Great Wall built in the gully, so this section of the Great Wall became the Water Great Wall.
A good place for walking kids and dogs and team building ~ Beautiful mountains and waters ~ Great Wall heroes ~ And delicious and inexpensive chestnuts ~ 🐶
I have been there two or three times, in early spring and late summer, and each time I had a different experience. The best thing was this May Day holiday, when there were not many people in the scenic area, and it was comfortable and perfect.
Located in Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing, you can reach Heilongtan by following the ancient road, crossing the wooden bridge, wading the stream, and crossing the strange rocks. On the way, the natural landscapes such as Longwei Cave, Zicui Peak, Zuinv Mountain, Shilang Valley, Qingren Peak, and Sanzhu Liantan are even more refreshing and unforgettable.
After Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty established Beijing as the capital, he located his mausoleum on the south side of Tianshou Mountain in Changping. Huanghua Town is located to the north of Tianshou Mountain. This section of the Great Wall not only guards the north gate of the capital, but is also an important gateway to the "Thirteen Tombs" of the Ming Emperors. This section of the Great Wall is made of stone strips and is majestic, steep, towering and ancient. It is the essence of the Ming Great Wall.
It's worth a visit for Great Wall enthusiasts! There are farmhouses outside the scenic area, where you can eat, team building, and barbecue~~
There are people and water, people swim in the painting, and it is not very tiring, suitable for all ages
It feels good, the combination of cultural landscape and natural scenery, with mountains and water, I enjoy it
It was the flower viewing season in April, but unfortunately I went a few days late
The scenery is very good. You can drive by yourself or join a tour group. It's a bit deserted if you go there in spring. You can go there around Dragon Boat Festival. The mountains are also green at that time, and it's a good place to cool off. I only walked around the periphery and didn't walk inside the scenic area. You can try walking inside the scenic area during Dragon Boat Festival. The scenery must be very beautiful
Before the holiday, I came to the Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, where the mountain flowers are in full bloom. The peach blossoms all over the mountain set off the ancient Great Wall, the leisurely clear water, and the spring lights! There are almost no tourists on the mountain trails, which are extremely quiet. It is a rare place to enjoy the spring flowers!
The original picture is horrible, so I can only use magical photo editing.
There are actually a lot of peach blossoms, but the background color is gray and ugly.
March 31, 2019, is the time when mountain flowers are in full bloom
I was looking for the same location as in the TV series, but when I walked all the way back, I found that it was at the first beacon tower, but I was shooting from inside. A new glass suspension bridge has been built here, but it is not open yet. The Great Wall is not open for a long time and the intensity is not high. There are few people in winter, few staff, and the signboards are not very good.
The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall that TB visited is in Huairou. The Great Wall was built artificially later. It is more suitable for taking pictures when the weather is good. The scenery is good and unique.
Huanghua Great Wall The Great Wall is connected with mountains and rivers, which is unique to Huanghua Great Wall. It retains the original style of the Great Wall. Some places have been repaired, but you can still appreciate the original beauty of the Great Wall. In many places, villagers charge 5 yuan or 10 yuan per person for the so-called tolls to pass through their manor fees.
The Water Great Wall is definitely worth visiting and is very spectacular.
The Water Great Wall has very few tourists.
Water Great Wall, the chestnut roast pork at the gate is delicious.
黃花城水長城位於 北京 懷柔區十渡河鎮境內。距離 北京 市區六十五公里。國家4A景區,遊園門票60元。黃花城水長城以奇特著稱,融山川、碧水、古長城為一體的旅遊休閒勝地。其三絕景觀更加引人入勝。
Suitable for a 2-day or 1-day weekend trip in Beijing. We departed from Haidian and arrived in 1.5 hours. Bring the elderly and children. If you are physically fit, you can park the car below the reservoir and walk and climb the whole factory. If you are not physically fit, you can drive the car directly to the P3 parking lot, the east gate of the Water Great Wall, so you don't have to climb the dam, saving a lot of energy.
The team came to the Water Great Wall for the first time. The scenery is still very good. The surrounding wild mountains are very suitable for hiking. There are many streams, which is very interesting.
Originally, I was mainly going to Baili Art Gallery during the National Day holiday, but I didn't expect it to be the most beautiful scenery of this trip. There are mountains, water and the Great Wall. The scenery is magnificent and leisurely. There are several routes to play. It is suitable for traveling with the elderly and children. The surrounding facilities are also relatively complete. You can stay for a few more days. Five stars~ (For details, you can see my travel notes)
Convenient transportation, beautiful environment. It was peak season when I went there, so even though it was not Saturday or Sunday, it was still crowded. It was fun. I recommend everyone to go.
This is the scenic spot of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall and the so-called Water Great Wall that is broken into the water. The area is relatively large. The whole journey of Route 11 is very tiring. The scenery is quite good and worth a visit. There are not as many people as Badaling, and the sky is also very blue.
It is a tourist and leisure resort famous for its strangeness and beauty, integrating mountains, rivers, clear waters and the ancient Great Wall.
The Great Wall is a little smaller than Badaling and Mutianyu Great Wall, but it is still worth climbing. What is rare is that the lake view, mountain view and the Great Wall complement each other. Even in summer, the whole mountain is very cool.
Huanghuacheng is called the Great Wall in the Water because the dam blocked the river, causing the water level to rise, submerging the Great Wall in the low valley into the water, forming a scene of the Great Wall playing in the water and the ancient city walls being submerged by water, which is a unique sight in the scenic area. The three sections of the Great Wall in Huanghuacheng entering the water are truly unique in China. There is a poem that says: The city embraces the rippling blue waves, the water submerges the ancient city walls; the city and the water echo each other, magnificent and leisurely. Huanghuacheng has "three unique sights".
The "unique" Great Wall built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty winds around the mountain ridge and surrounds the Haoming Lake, with beautiful and spectacular scenery.
The second wonder is the chestnut garden from the Ming Dynasty, with its ancient trees of various shapes and intricate roots.
The "Three Wonders" lake naturally separates the Great Wall, forming a unique landscape of the Great Wall playing in the water and the water submerging the Great Wall.
The first time I visited the Great Wall, an old lady seemed to stop everyone and collected 2 yuan.
The east gate of the Water Great Wall and the parking lot are close to the scenic area. If you want to take a boat or go around the lake, you can go through the east gate. If you don’t want to spend money on a boat or don’t want to be too tired, you can go through the west gate to climb the mountain directly, and you can also cross the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is built on the cliffs on the top of the mountain, blending with the scenery of lakes and mountains, forming a vigorous, beautiful and profound picture.
The Great Wall is like a giant dragon dancing in the sky, dancing gracefully between the green carpet-like mountains and the clear blue sky, stretching to places far away. Usually tourists who come here will be in a daze and then feel excited.
In Huairou, the Great Wall is more spiritual than other places because it is surrounded by water. The dam and chestnut garden are also good. There are many large tree trunks with different branches in the chestnut garden. It should be beautiful to take pictures of the snow in winter. Tickets are 60/person.
It's a nice place with the Great Wall ruins and lakes and mountains. Some parts of the scenic area are still under construction, and it is estimated that there will be more people in the future.
I still remember the grandeur of the Shanhaiguan Laolongtou connecting the sky and the sea, and the grandeur of the Jiayuguan Great Wall in Gansu; the star-studded night scene of the Simatai Great Wall is still vivid in my mind, and the grandeur of the Juyongguan Great Wall Gorge in the valley is still lingering in my heart. Compared with these well-known and popular Great Walls, the Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall in Tianshou Shanyin and the Ming Tombs attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique underwater Great Wall wonders. Along the ancient road, across the wooden bridge, fording the stream, crossing the Pinghu Lake, on the way, the strange peaks and rugged rocks, the Ming Great Wall winding into the water is even more unique and beautiful - this magnificent landscape painting always makes people linger.
Watching peach blossoms turns into admiring spring snow. The mountains dance like silver snakes, and the plains gallop like wax elephants.
Spring is here, go outing on weekends, relax and experience nature. One day is enough, set off in the morning, it takes about 4 hours to visit the scenic area, peach blossoms all over the mountains, take a cruise on the green waters of the mountains, climb the Great Wall to appreciate the ancient trees, there is a section of the Great Wall that is very steep, it is really a climb! Because I had something to do in the evening, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't taste the farmhouse dishes!
Peach Blossom Spring
In Beijing, it is very relaxing to go to such a suburban attraction on weekends. The peach blossoms are all over the mountains and the green trees are reflected. Except for the air pollution, everything else is good.
The basic tour route is as follows: enter from the west gate, visit the Ming Great Wall, the peninsula, the beach, the chestnut garden, the Jade Pool, the Black Dragon Pool, and then return to the peninsula and go out from the east gate. You can see the dam when you come out of the east gate, which is very beautiful. The entrance to the Ming Great Wall is generally not very intense, and it is a place for leisure travel. It can be regarded as the first stop in 2018. First exercise, and then slowly climb a few high places.
Black Dragon Pond is three feet deep and doesn’t even have a sign. I walked four kilometers just to see it?
April 2017, peach blossoms and the Great Wall of Water.
This is the most satisfying place in the 6-day parent-child tour in Beijing. There are mountains, water, trees, farmyards, and the undamaged Great Wall, but there are no crowds. I strongly recommend it to both locals and outsiders. Of course, such a quiet place is definitely not convenient for public transportation, so it is best to drive there. It is especially suitable for portraits, couples' travel, etc. The nature of the tour is similar to a forest outing, very primitive, and you will encounter some animals and even snakes, so be mentally prepared.
The Great Wall did not exist since ancient times. Instead, the dam intercepted the river, causing the water level to rise, submerging the Great Wall in the valley, forming a scene of playing in the water. If you are tired of the crowds at the Badaling Great Wall, you might as well come to the Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, which is a rare place in Beijing with mountains and water for outings. The intensity of climbing the Great Wall can be high or low, and it is more suitable for bringing the elderly. There are cruise ships or speedboats in the scenic area to travel between the entrance and the depths of the scenic area, and there are also pedal boats to play. In short, it is still worth coming in summer.
I went there with a friend on April 8, 2017. It was very windy and I caught a cold when I came back, but it was still fun!
The Water Great Wall, the name sounds interesting, the scenery is nice, a good place to visit in the suburbs of Beijing
The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall has beautiful scenery. Climb up the Great Wall and you can see the undulating mountains in the distance. The Great Wall is cut off by the dam water, and it seems that the Great Wall extends into the water, forming a unique scenery. There is also a chestnut garden from the Ming Dynasty. The trees are hundreds of years old and full of fruits. You can see them. In autumn, you can pick chestnuts and taste fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts.
The mountains are high and the water is beautiful. Walking along the lakeside trail around the lake, you can enjoy the lake view. The Great Wall and the lake are integrated into a whole, like a giant dragon tumbling in the mountains and beautiful water.
Transportation: Self-driving, nice scenery along the way, plenty of parking spaces
Food: There are many farmhouses between the parking lot and the scenic area gate, with barbecue and home-cooked dishes.
Accommodation: Round trip on the same day, the conditions of the farmhouses are generally average
Scenery: It is quite beautiful, with a high vegetation coverage rate and a small lake. The direction of Heilongtan is relatively quiet, but don’t have too high expectations for Heilongtan.
Play: The boat trip cost 20 yuan and was over in 2 minutes; there was mountain rafting, but I didn’t try it; there was also a so-called beach, the water was a bit dirty, and there were a few children’s play facilities around it.
Generally speaking, there are not as many activities as in Qinglong Gorge, the scenery is similar to that of Qinglong Gorge, but the transportation is not as convenient as that of Qinglong Gorge.
The environment is very good, the air is good, there is always smog in the city, but once you get here, it is a big blue sky
There are many recently maintained sections of the Great Wall, making it easier to walk.
But if you want to see the Great Wall, I don't recommend it.
I want to take my parents for a walk on the weekend, not too intense... not too far from the city...
Half price for senior citizens...very good...not expensive...
Take a stroll...very good...
Go down the mountain to Quanshui Fisherman's House for lunch...have a grilled rainbow trout...have fun and eat...very good...
This is another water Great Wall after the Xifengkou Underwater Great Wall. It has pleasant scenery and is worth a visit.
The second time I went there, I chose to enter from the west gate, walk along the winding plank road to the beach, then go deep into the Black Dragon Pool, and then walk along the small road until the stone bridge, turn back to the beach, cross the bridge and exit the west gate. This is not the time to climb the Great Wall. The scenery in the Black Dragon Pool is very good for the north. The stream water is clear and the roadside vegetation is dense! It’s just that the road after the Black Dragon Pool is very difficult to walk, not suitable for children. I will go there again when I have time!
Half-day tour of the Great Wall of Water
Beautiful mountains and rivers, a nice place, although a little off the beaten track, but the place is very good, few people, complete facilities, the scenic area is well built ~
If you don't go to Heilongtan, it is recommended to spend 3 to 4 hours.
There are buses to the scenic area in Huairou City, but it takes a longer route, so it is recommended to drive there.
If you drive from the city, you can stop by Xingshou to pick strawberries, which will make for a perfect day activity at the Water Great Wall.
There are no highways in the city, and the roads to and from the city are not easy to travel, mostly mountain roads, so please drive carefully.
I can't seem to describe the beauty of the scenic spot in words. I want to emphasize that the photos taken with a mobile phone are only one tenth of the beauty seen with the eyes! It is really beautiful! It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but advertise it in my circle of friends when I came back - Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Thousand Miles of Peach Forest, and the Thousand Miles of Great Wall is at Huairou Water Great Wall
One day is not too long to visit the scenic spot.
Therefore, if you are traveling by car, it is recommended to stay in a farmhouse at the entrance of the scenic area one day in advance and enter the scenic area early the next morning.
The scenic area recommends walking according to the signs, first towards the Ming Great Wall, passing the Broken Bridge and the peninsula, which are so beautiful. The section of the Water Great Wall is broken, so we just looked at it, and then went to climb the Ming Great Wall. It is recommended to climb it, the view is super good.
After coming down from the Ming Great Wall, we went to Jade Lake and Black Dragon Lake. There is nothing much to say about Jade Lake, but Black Dragon Lake is a bit far away. After visiting it, you have to go back the same way. It looks like a cliff. It is suitable for summer vacation, but if you are short of time, you can skip it. It is quite far.
After coming back, we took the winding mountain plank road, which was a good way to make a circle. The scenery on the winding mountain plank road was also beautiful.
I actually don’t know how to describe it, I really highly recommend it‼ ️‼ ️
There is no need to climb mountains when visiting here. It is one of the few scenic spots in the suburbs of Beijing where you can enjoy the scenery without getting tired. You can buy a one-way boat ticket, take a boat to the island, and walk back. The surrounding farmhouses are in quite good condition in Huairou area, and the price is between 100-150.
This is pure natural scenery. Due to the construction of the reservoir, the water level rose and submerged a section of the Great Wall under water, hence the name Water Great Wall.
I've been there twice, four or five years apart, the scenery hasn't changed, but now there are many more expansion teams there
Just after Double 11, I went there with my friend as a driver. Maybe it was winter, it felt a bit bleak, plus it was foggy. It was OK, but I found that the English on the LoGo of the Water Great Wall was wrong. Foreign tourists would probably laugh and cry when they see it 😂
We went there on November 5th. It got cold early this year and many leaves had fallen. I felt the scenic spot was very nice and it should be very cool if we went there in the summer.
The Great Wall in the Water is formed by the water level rising due to the dam, which submerges the low-lying Great Wall in the water, forming a scene of the Great Wall playing in the water and the ancient city walls being submerged by water, which is a unique sight in the scenic area. The three sections of the Great Wall in Huanghuacheng entering the water are truly unique in China. There is a poem that says: The city embraces the rippling blue waves, and the water submerges the ancient city walls; the city and the water echo each other, magnificent and leisurely.
As a one-day tour attraction, it is a good choice to keep fit while enjoying the beautiful scenery and taste barbecue.
Beijing Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall Tourist Area is located in Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing, 65 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. It is a tourist resort famous for its uniqueness, integrating mountains, clear waters and the ancient Great Wall. The "three unique views" here are even more fascinating and breathtaking:
The "unique" Great Wall built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty winds around the mountain ridge and surrounds the Haoming Lake, with beautiful and spectacular scenery.
The "Second Wonder" is that the lake naturally separates the Great Wall, forming a unique sight of the Great Wall playing in the water and the water submerging the Great Wall.
The "Three Wonders" Ming Dynasty Chestnut Garden has ancient trees with intertwined roots and various shapes. The giant dragon-like body and the crown that covers the sky are highly praised.
You can reach Black Dragon Pond by following the ancient road, crossing the wooden bridge, wading the stream and crossing the strange rocks. On the way, you will see the natural landscapes such as Dragon Tail Cave, Zicui Peak, Zuinv Mountain, Shilang Valley, Qingren Peak and Sanzhu Liantan, which are refreshing and unforgettable.
The parking lot of the scenic spot is very large and can accommodate hundreds of cars. The key is that there are few people, unlike the crowded Badaling!
It was very beautiful. I had to admire the majesty of the Great Wall. I felt much better immediately. I experienced the dam-descent. I was very scared at first, but it got better later. It was very exciting.
There are mountains, water and houses, which are rare in Beijing. There are few people at the Great Wall, and you can see the water, which I personally like.
Located in Huairou, about 2 hours' drive from the city. Different from Badaling, the scenery is very good. If you don't climb the Great Wall, you can go all the way inside. The Black Dragon Pool section has a unique tranquility. It is a place worth visiting in the suburbs of Beijing.
Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall is not as famous as Badaling, so it is less developed and more original. The scenery is beautiful, but the road conditions are poor and it is not suitable for the elderly and children. Young people can challenge it.
Not bad, a hundred times better than Shidu, and there is a good place to play in the water
I climbed the water Great Wall during the Dragon Boat Festival. It was not tiring overall. There were a lot of shade trees, which was suitable for children. The Black Dragon Pool was very quiet and cool in summer. There were little squirrels jumping around. I found a 620-year-old chestnut tree in the Ming Dynasty chestnut garden.
It's a place I personally like quite a lot.
From my home, I drove into the Third Ring Road and headed straight for the Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway. The toll was 15 yuan. In fact, this road was not long, but after exiting the Xiaotangshan toll station, the road I took was either a small road in the village or a winding mountain road. The speed was about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, and it took about an hour and a half to reach the Water Great Wall.
The original ticket price is 45 yuan/person, and group purchase is 40 yuan/person. It is best to make an appointment 24 hours in advance.
The entire route is mainly flat land, so hiking is effortless. There are several entrances to the Great Wall. We walked straight into the innermost Ming Dynasty chestnut garden and climbed the last section of the Great Wall. After returning to the original route, we went deeper inside and walked to the Black Dragon Pond.
The scenery along the way was very nice. It was not too hot because it was near the water. There was a small beach next to a children's playground where a few children were playing in the mud. The Ming Dynasty Chestnut Garden was my favorite garden. There were chestnut trees over a hundred years old, and the oldest chestnut tree was 788 years old. There were several swings in the garden, and the winding paths were quiet and cool.
The Great Wall is not difficult to climb, it is not very high, the only problem is that some of the steps are super high, equivalent to two sections. The Huanghua Water Great Wall, as the name suggests, has a number of yellow flowers, which may be out of season and lack of yellow flowers.
After returning along the original route, we insisted on going to Heilongtan. We didn't really see the significance of Biyutan when we passed by it, and we just checked in and took a look at Heilongtan. The whole trip, including taking photos, took 4 hours, which was quite fulfilling. It is better to come early to avoid the hot afternoon.
It takes a short walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot, and there are several shops. There is a barbecue stall near the chestnut garden inside the Great Wall, selling grilled fish and other food. Parking is unlimited, 10 yuan/small car. Bring plenty of water, it's the season to come.
I went there with an annual pass. It was OK. Because we went there with children, we didn't walk the winding mountain plank road. If we walked around, it would be nice. It's cool by the mountains and water. I feel that taking a boat is not worth it. It costs 20 yuan, and children also need tickets, but it only takes three or four minutes to get to the place. Before I went there, there were many people buying fishing nets on the road. It is said that you can catch fish on the beach. It is recommended not to buy nets. If you can't catch them, it will be in the way. The chestnut garden of the Ming Dynasty is good, with many ancient chestnut trees. It is said that they were planted by the soldiers guarding the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty. It is very cool inside, and there are swings. You can go to the Great Wall at the end of the chestnut garden. It is a bit steep, but the scenery is very good, especially on the high beacon tower, it is very cool and the view is very good.
Huanghuacheng, a beautiful and romantic name, a secluded place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Climbing up the steps along the Great Wall, you will see towering ancient trees, flags blowing in the wind, and changing scenery. It seems that hundreds of years have passed just yesterday. I like this place very much. The scenery is different in each season. I look forward to going there with you next time in a different season. 2016.5.9
Come early on weekends when there aren't many people. You can hike, boat, and rappel down the dam. The scenery is pretty good. The farmhouse food is also delicious. Compared to the most popular rainbow trout, the sturgeon without bones tastes better.
It is best to go there before the Qingming Festival, when the mountains are covered with flowers and the Great Wall is a great choice for outdoor leisure.
You can cross from Huanghuacheng Village to the Water Great Wall Scenic Area. For details, please see the travel notes http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5451930.html
Traveling by car during the Qingming Festival, the annoyance caused by the traffic jam on the road completely dissipated the moment you boarded the cruise ship. It is recommended to visit after 4 pm in spring. Two hours is enough. There are few people and the scenery is beautiful. You can also see the sun gradually setting behind the mountain.
The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall is located at Jiudu River in Huairou. It was formed because the water level rose during the construction of the reservoir and flooded a section of the Great Wall.
There is a parking lot near the scenic spot, and the car is 5 yuan for unlimited time. There are farmhouses and restaurants on both sides of the road, so you don't have to worry about not finding a place to eat.
It is very suitable for summer travel, where you can escape the heat and enjoy the mountains and rivers. There are many entertainment projects, such as speedboats, cruise ships, and you can also climb the Great Wall.
Huanghuacheng is located in Xishuiyu of Jiuduhe Town.
From the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot, you will cross a village street with farmhouses on both sides. Some of them have been converted into bars. There are also many team development companies stationed here (after entering the scenic spot, I saw several groups of company employees doing development training)
This time I went to Huanghuacheng. Firstly, it was spring and the flowers were blooming, so I wanted to relax and enjoy the spring. Second, I had nothing to do on the weekend, so I just put on my leather shoes and went there.
I have walked the Great Wall many times. In the past, I always wore a jacket and pants, hiking boots, a multi-purpose towel, gloves, a water bottle and ropes. How should I describe it? It is not self-torture, but a bit of conquest? Challenge? Fast pace, macho, strong donkey, etc. This time I visited the Water Great Wall, with a SLR in hand, leather shoes, a pair of overalls and a pot of brewed coffee, and strolled leisurely. Occasionally, I sat on the bricks of the Great Wall, staring at the warm sun in May, or looking out at the reservoir surrounded by mountains and the Great Wall on the top of the mountain winding down, submerged in the water without a trace...
Watching “Playing in Water at the Great Wall”, this phrase sounds really nice!
I'm so free.
There is a peninsula in the Huanghuacheng Scenic Area, which extends from the "mainland" to the center of the reservoir. You can walk to the peninsula from this bridge. There are some stone tables and stone chairs for tourists to rest. There is also a "chestnut garden" that is said to be from the Ming Dynasty and a cruise ship dock (I forgot the price of the cruise ship). Although it was the end of May, I still felt a little bit cold after sitting on the peninsula for a while, so I went down to the dock and took a cruise ship back to the dam, and had another experience of sailing on the water.
Take a cruise ship from the peninsula in the center of the Huanghuacheng Scenic Area back to the land and pass by the reservoir dam again.
Huanghuashui Great Wall is really a very worthwhile attraction! The Great Wall is not difficult and the scenery is great! :D
Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall Tourist Area is located in Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing, 65 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. It is a tourist resort famous for its uniqueness, integrating mountains, clear waters and the ancient Great Wall. The "three unique views" here are even more fascinating and breathtaking.
The "unique" Great Wall built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty winds around the mountain ridge and surrounds the Haoming Lake, with beautiful and spectacular scenery.
The "Second Wonder" is that the lake naturally separates the Great Wall, forming a unique sight of the Great Wall playing in the water and the water submerging the Great Wall.
The "Three Wonders" Ming Dynasty Chestnut Garden has ancient trees with intertwined roots and various shapes. The giant dragon-like body and the crown that covers the sky are highly praised.
May 3, 2019. I just came back from a trip today. Starting from Tangshan, my husband and I drove to Huairou Water Great Wall with our dog. We went there on the 2nd. We strolled around the 798 Art District. There were too many people, so we left disappointed. We went to a hotel near the Water Great Wall. We booked a homestay outside the scenic area. We can bring dogs, which is very convenient. The first half of the journey was very ordinary. There was some traffic jam near the scenic area. At night, we arrived at the homestay and had local specialties grilled fish and barbecue. The taste was quite satisfactory. The next morning, we started to visit the scenic area at around 8 o'clock. The ticket was bought online one day in advance, 49, and it seemed to be 60 in the local area. However, including the round-trip ticket for the boat, it was about the same as buying a ticket on site. It is recommended to stay one day in advance and go early in the morning. You can finish the tour at about 12 o'clock. You belong to the first group and don't have to queue at all. Have some food and start the return journey at 1 o'clock. There is no traffic jam. Generally, after 3 o'clock, the return journey will be very congested. There will be a long queue for boats and so on. Of course, I am talking about this kind of short holiday. Compared with Badaling and other scenic spots, there are really few people here. It's really nice. You can bring your dog here, take a boat, or a speedboat.
