Walled Village to Huanghuacheng Great Wall, 2016/01/13
See eighteen photos from our hike from the Walled Village up to the Huanghuacheng Great Wall.
With clear blue skies we had super views of a great variety of scenery on this trail: small country villages, farmland and fields and forests, and a lovely line of Ming Dynasty Great Wall.
We started off with a little look at what’s left of a Ming Dynasty barracks - thick walls and a big archway that surround a small group of courtyard houses.
From the old barracks we followed a trail through fields and forest up to the Great Wall, going through some snow in a shaded valley.
We followed the wall over to the Huanghuacheng Reservoir, passing along both wild and restored sections of the Great Wall.
With the cold, clear weather the views were excellent, as you’ll see in the photos below!
