In the 1970s, the local farmers built a small dam with the bricks of the Wall and even to also built stablers. because on that time from states and normal citizens without thought that the Wall with any value so that from this regard can be reflected different invaluable on that time.

 Great Wall in Beijing


"Huanghuacheng Great Wall" Located at Huanghuacheng town, Huanghuacheng Great Wall is 80kilometers from Beijing City and 29 kilometers southwest of Huairou County. This section of Great Wall has a total length of 10,800 meters.

Huanghuacheng Great Wall is connected to Mutianyu Great Wall in the east, and is connected to Juyongguan Pass and Badaling in the west.

When summer comes, all the buildings here will be buried in wide layers of yellow flowers (Huanghua), from which Huanghuacheng Great Wall got its name.

There is a legend about the building of the Wall. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor ordered a general named Cai Kai to build Huanghuacheng Great Wall and he spent many years to finish the project. The emperor was unhappy. When the emperor heard the word by some official saying that General Cai Kai spent too much money, Cai Kai was put to death. Later, the emperor felt that something not right, so he ordered someone to investigate the Great Wall. And the man found the section of the Great Wall supervised by Cai Kai was extremely firm. Then, the emperor knew that General Cai Kai had done no wrong, so he rebuilt a tablet and a tomb for Cai Kai to correct his mistake. At the same time, the emperor had someone engraved "Jintang" in a rock to describe the firmness of this section of Great Wall. Therefore, Huanghuacheng Great Wall is also called Jintang Great Wall.

"The reservoir is called Huanghuacheng Reservoir, whose shape is like a curved moon." Huanghuacheng Great Wall is a natural one. There is a lake and a reservoir near it. The lake is called "Jintang Lake". The water in the lake is extremely cold and the lake has a depth of 30 meters. Many springs come out of the bottom of the lake and the water is clear. Small falls are formed by the water in the summer.

The reservoir is called Huanghuacheng Reservoir. Its shape is like a curved moon.

The Yaoziyu Castle is the most completely kept castle in this section of the Great Wall. It has an area of 7257 square meters and was built in 1592 during the Ming Dynasty.

Shibadeng is the steepest part in the entire Huanghuacheng Great Wall. It is so steep that you have to be very careful when you climb it.

Hint: We suggest you visit this section of the Great Wall from March to October every year.
