Beijing Airport Tours

Huanghuacheng Great Wall, also known as the Water Great Wall of Beijing, is one of the most scenic and unusual sections of the Great Wall near Beijing.

Unlike many famous sections that stretch across mountain ridges, Huanghuacheng is famous for the way the ancient Great Wall meets the water of a reservoir surrounded by mountains.

The combination of ancient walls, clear water, mountain scenery and hiking trails makes Huanghuacheng an excellent destination for travelers looking for a more scenic and less conventional Great Wall experience.

For visitors staying in Beijing, Huanghuacheng can be arranged as a private day tour. Travelers with a sufficiently long airport layover can also consider a customized visit, depending on their flight schedule and available time.

Huanghuacheng offers a combination that is difficult to find at other Great Wall destinations around Beijing.

1. Great Wall and water

The most distinctive feature is the reservoir beneath and around sections of the wall.

The Great Wall is surrounded by beautiful mountains, creating panoramic views from the hiking trails.
