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

Visited one of the best spot in Beijing, called Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall a few weeks ago. Located 80 km from downtown Beijing to the north, this place is such a piece of heaven on earth. It was beautiful and magical. Once you enter the area, you'll be spoiled by many kinds of scenic spots. Moreover, if you come in spring season, it's getting more beautiful since the flowers are blooming everywhere. Some tips for visiting here: ✨ I recommend you to join a group tour if it's your first time, take an online taxi or rent a car with local driver to reach this area. ✨ Bring your own water bottle and powerbank. ✨ Please prepare a wind breaker. Moreover in spring, the wind blows strongly here. #chinatrip

It's a good time to enjoy #springblossom in one of Beijing most popular attraction, Great Wall. This time we visited Huanghuacheng, the part of Great Wall that has scenery of lakeside. Flowers are also blooming beautifully along the way. You can see the pink and white flowers everywhere. If it's your first time in Beijing, I recommend you to join a group tour while visiting Huanghuacheng Lakeside Great Wall. Since the trip from downtown will takes more than 3 hours with public transportation and 1.5 hours by private car.
