Being one of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China (长城) is the second most visited wonders, after the Effiel Tower in Paris. If at all you are looking for a short vacation and you're new to China, then I would suggest this is the place to start with. As the Great Wall is quite long, there are different sections of it that people love it. But especially, during any holidays even be it a weekend, the most famous ones like Badaling and Mutianyu are too much crowded as it is a must visit for the local tourists coming from different provinces. So it's always better to take an offbeat destination, where the beauty of it is serene and calm. In fact, I felt the whole section of that Great Wall is mine haha. So here's an isolated section named as Huang hua cheng(黄花城), you have to drive a little bit away from Beijing. Just putting up in Baidu would help, but we hired a car to go and come back on that day; as we also planned to go for an early hike to see the sunrise over the Great Wall which is once in a lifetime experience. If there's anything that you can squeeze in a 3 day trip, taking this offbeat path is a totally worthy one. P.S. As it is not maintained as tourist places, have your own sanitary and snacks/water stuffs. Have a great vacation guys !! #qingmingtravel #beijingtravel #greatwall #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Of the many Great Walls I visited, the Great Wall adjacent to the lake and river is what I like the most. The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, offers a fresh, peaceful and beautiful view. Although to get to the Great Wall requires a little climb, but not too high. There are two alternatives to surround the lake, walk using the trail or do a cruise using a boat. The entrance ticket price is 60 RMB, while for a cruise it is 25 RMB for one way. #givethanks
