Jason McOctober 4, 2017Even during the National Week holidays, there were only a handful of people at this unique, rugged section of the Great Wall. The trail was challenging. It was worn rather than manicured. Worth it.Upvote4Downvote
Go from the top parking lot to the toilets. Left of the toilets you can walk up a path to the wild great Wall which will reward you with a great view from high up. All rest turned into a touristy messUpvoteDownvote
Wong RickyNovember 6, 2013Huanghuacheng Great Wall is picturesque, much quieter, much less developed and less known than other sections in Beijing. You could easily spend a whole day here. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Berns WuMay 26, 2014Rugged part of the wall, beautiful. Bus goes from dongzhimen terminal. Look out for the service that goes to huairou. Take it all the way to the end, then hail a black can to huanghuacheng.UpvoteDownvote- Manuel CovesJanuary 12, 2015Atractive section of the great wall. Hard steps zones rewarded with great views of the wall. Is a peaceful place with no tourists.

Bryan DodgeSeptember 27, 2012One of the closest sections, of The Great Wall, to Beijing. Plus it's secluded and rugged - you get The Wall to yourself! q:-)
