This section is not only by a lake/reservoir, but also some parts of the wall are even immersed in the water.

When night falls, camp in an original watchtower where soldiers were once garrisoned. See the incredibly starry sky, feel the tranquility of the mountains, and travel back in time to medieval China.

Amazing Panda Keeper Day!
Our family of six with ages ranging from 23 to 76 had an absolutely brilliant day as panda keeper volunteers with our lovely guide Daisy. It was amazing to see these beautiful pandas up close and to help clean the enclosures and prepare bamboo and panda cakes for them! We even came home with our own panda keeper t-shirts to remind us of such a great day. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Chengdu , thank you Daisy from Chinahighlihgts!

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your professional hiking guide will meet you at your hotel in Beijing at 2pm. Journey to the Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall with a 2-hour drive.
Start hiking at about 4pm. It will take about 1½ hours to finish the round-trip hike, including four watchtowers. The wall continues eastward but you will not go any further as it's very steep and the wall is crumbling.
Enjoy a homemade dinner in a farmer's guesthouse and take a shower in the guesthouse before going back to the watchtower.
Your camping gear will be carried up to a watchtower on the Wall after dinner for your overnight stay on the Great Wall.
Wake up to a beautiful sunrise when you open your tent (Great Wall weather is often dry and clear, especially from October to May).
Go down to the village and have a simple local breakfast there before walking back up to the wall.
You will be impressed by panoramic views of the lakeside when you get to the first watchtower of Huanghuacheng. Continue hiking up and down on the Wall, meandering through bushes and forested areas, until you end your hike at Xishuiyu.
Enjoy a special hot pot lunch on the way back to Beijing. You should get back to your hotel in Beijing at 2pm.
