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'👏.

🤗Come to the Water Great Wall and start your May Day journey😎!
The Great Wall, which is relatively close to the city, has beautiful mountains and waters! The time to choose is wrong, the Qingming, less than two hours on weekdays, five hours of walking, no one! However, in terms of the Great Wall, there are still a lot fewer people than other attractions, at least you can walk, and occasionally there are fewer people! This time I took the magnetic track slide down the mountain, and the adult 80, the student 40, and the children below 1.2 30, slowly slipping, not exciting, but saving effort!
I am so friendly to those who like to be lazy! Self-driving car parked in P3, directly flat road to the ticket gate, walked through the dam to reach the cruise ship/speedboat/airship, choose a way to go to the lake center island, of course, you can also take the lake trail. After arriving at the center of the lake, you can choose to go to the top of the mountain on the magnetic slide, and you can still choose to walk. There is also a small beach on the center of the lake for children to play, and the scenery is also very spectacular and beautiful. You can see the broken Great Wall in the water, or you can climb to see the Great Wall of Shanghai. If the whole walk takes about three hours, suitable for people with various needs, it is recommended.
There are still a lot to play, especially there are more water projects, speedboats, kayaking, cruises, rafting, you can go a few times in summer, there are still many people on May 1st, and the scenic spot provides several top tourist spots.
The scenery is good, it is the flower season, the flowers are all over the mountains, it can't be too beautiful. The service is slightly subtle, the door opens at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it can't be early for a minute, even if the door is already in place. I went to the Jiuyanlou attraction early the next morning, and it was a few minutes early. Because there was the encounter of the Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, I didn't dare to walk outside the door. I didn't expect the guard to take the initiative to say hello, say it in, early. The attraction opens the door, should it be like this?
The cable car is quite novel, the first time I took this. The children are very happy. There are also boats to sit in the scenic spot, or you can choose to climb the Great Wall, which is not very high. Suitable for a family to travel and relax. There are also many parking lots, which is convenient for parking.
