About the Lakeside Great Wall: Huanghuacheng Great Wall

Huanghuacheng is the only lakeside Great Wall in Beijing. It is one of the top destinations for a Great Wall hiking tour. Visitors can also take a boat to appreciate the Great Wall at Huanghuacheng from a different angle. Located 45 miles (70 kilometers) away from Beijing city proper, it takes about 1.5 hours to get there by private car and 2 hours by public bus.

When summer arrives in full bloom, the entire village below is awashed in a sea of yellow wild flowers ('yellow flower' is 'huanghua' in Chinese). Hence the village name Huanghuacheng (Huanghua City in English), and by turn the Great Wall section acquires its name.

The construction commenced in 1404, two years before the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) moved its capital to Beijing, and continued for 188 years.

Mountainous terrain nearby makes it strategically placed as the northern gateway to Beijing. 

Solid large flagstones in the body of the wall have withstood the wear and tear from both nature and man.

Embracing the clear Haoming Lake, this section is 7.7 miles (12.4 kilometers) in length and partly submerged.

A reservoir dam was built on the former site of Xishuiyuguan Pass, near the entrance to the scenic area.

Like other sections, partial segments are only submerged after the dam have caused a rising of water level and leading to today's special feature.

There is a lush chestnut garden at the mountain foot. It was planted by soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who were assigned to stand guard in Huanghuacheng.

How to Tour Huanghuacheng Great Wall

There is a boardwalk on the hill facing the scenic area. You can see everything while wandering along the walk. The experience is pleasing with lush trees and clear lake by your side.

Half way down the boardwalk, you will find a small island against the hill. At the center of the scenic area, it is the best vantage point. There is a wharf, where you can board a cruise to enhance your experience.

Climbing this section is not challenging. But it is in serious disrepair.

There is an ancient hilltop tower named Dongliushi Tower to the east of the dam. It is the highest point, providing a bird's-eye-view of the whole scenic area.

UFO Glass Platform

Statistics about the glass platform

Weight: 320 tons; Maximum Load: 150 tons; Maximum Capacity: 2000 people
Hanging Distance: 32 meters; Platform Diameter: 26 meters. Taking an area of 415 square meters

The glass sightseeing platform, billed as “Flying Disk/UFO”, opened to the public on April 30, 2016. The transparent sightseeing platform is 800 meters above sea level and 400 meters high from the bottom of the cliff, a thriller for visitors who want to experience the excitement walking in the sky. 

The 415-square-meter platform soars 33 meters from the mountainside, offering a top view of the scenic site in every sense. The platform exceeds the Grand Canyon Skywalk by 11.4 meters. Yet the vistas it affords are quite different.

Shilinxia translates as Stone Forest Gorge - for good reason. This swathe of the Huangsongyu Geopark bristles with stone spires that resemble thickets of tremendous trees.

The UFO offers a high-level platform for viewing this unearthly terrain.

The 12-square-kilometer scenic area is shaped not only by its thrusting rock quills but also by such other otherworldly marvels as the Jiutan Flying Waterfall, from which ribbons of water flutter 120 meters down four tiers.

The 6-km gorge is exceedingly slender. The belt of lowland between sheer bluffs tightens to just 3 meters at its slimmest. The earth whittles the sky into a silver sliver.

The area is littered with boulders that can surpass 1,000 tons. It's as if it were mighty nature gods' shot put arena.

Cypresses uncoil from cliffs. Twisted trunks unravel outward horizontally while their roots clench vertical precipices. These trees seem to defy gravity and testify to the tenacity of life.

Where you go is not the most important thing. Who you go with is the most important thing.

Travel with different cultural background of friends,laughter and singing togehter.

It will be the exclusive memory of life!

旅行的目的地是哪并不是最重要的，和谁一起去旅行才是最重要的。

与世界各国不同文化背景的小伙伴一起，欢声笑语尽情歌唱，必定会成为人生中的独家记忆！
