HAVEN CUMMINGS

Where to go for the May Day holiday? Come to the Shuichangcheng (Water Great Wall) for a spring outing and a climb on the Great Wall

🌈The May Day holiday is approaching, and if you haven't figured out where to go, I strongly recommend Shuichangcheng👏. The scenery here is beautiful and fun, a real hidden gem😎. 🤩This is the only place in Beijing where the Great Wall meets water, known for its uniqueness and beauty. Green mountains, clear waters, the Great Wall, and ancient trees blend perfectly here🎨, making it a great destination for travel and leisure👍. 😜Here, you can admire the majesty of the Great Wall and experience the wonderful blend of southern water towns and northern landscapes. The beauty of the Water Great Wall is well-known as 'the scenery of the borderlands, the charm of the south, all in the Water Great Wall,' ensuring you'll want to linger and forget to leave🤩. 🎄Additionally, there is a Ming Dynasty chestnut orchard waiting for you to explore. Covering hundreds of acres, it has over a hundred ancient trees, including a 'Chestnut King' that is over 830 years old👍, hailed as 'China's most beautiful chestnut tree.' In summer, when the chestnut flowers bloom, a sea of pale yellow flowers with a delicate fragrance seems to make one forget all worries😌. 👉Haoming Lake is surrounded by mountains and lies next to the Great Wall, formed by natural springs🤩, and is a place for water entertainment activities. While boating, you can also enjoy the sight of mandarin ducks playing in the clear water. 👉Heilongtan (Black Dragon Pool) is located at the westernmost end of the scenic area, also surrounded by mountains, with clear and deep waters😃, and mountain springs continuously flowing into it. In the summer heat, the pool remains cool and pleasant, making it a great place to escape the heat. A poem praises it: 'A waterfall falls to a small pool below the rock, a stream of a thousand ages gathers into a pool; the water is still and clear to the bottom, sitting by the shore and drinking to one's heart's content'👏. 🎡What to play: 💦It's simply too cool to play in the water here in summer😎! Experience water flying and enjoy Great Wall ice cream🍦, fun for both adults and children✨. • 🚤Water activities: cruise boats, speedboats, electric boats, kayaks, etc. • 🏞Landscape activities: magnetic slides, gliding airships, etc. • 🏕Land activities: camping, picnicking, shouting springs, beach water play, etc. 👉Recommended travel routes: • 💆Relaxed leisure tour: Scenic area entrance - Reservoir dam - Boat ride - Peninsula - Ming Dynasty chestnut orchard - Magnetic slide - Mountain top viewing platform. • 👣Climbing and water-loving tour: Scenic area entrance - Ming Great Wall - Peninsula - Beach - Ming Dynasty chestnut orchard - Glass bridge. • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Family comfort tour: East Gate (West Gate) - Reservoir dam - Ming Great Wall - Cross-reservoir bridge - Peninsula - Chestnut orchard - Magnetic slide. 🚌 In addition to self-driving, there is also a tourist shuttle bus: • 👉Distribution center: 📍Departure location: Opposite the H exit of Dongzhimen subway station, E exit of Shaoyaoju subway station. 🕒Departure time: 7:45 from Dongzhimen, 8:00 from Shaoyaoju. • 👉Mubus May Day operation tips: 📍Departure location: B1 exit of Dongzhimen subway station. 🕒Departure time: 6:30 start. 🤗Come to the Water Great Wall and start your May Day journey😎!
