The weather was perfect for this walk on the Great Wall at Huanghuacheng – blue skies, green hills, and great views of the wall and natural scenery.

We began near the Walled Village, and hiked hill trails to get up on the unrepaired part of the Huanghuacheng Great Wall.

We followed the wall down into a valley, and then up another steep hill to finish with a walk on the restored part of the Huanghuacheng Great Wall.

On such a clear day the views were amazing. See our favourite photos below.
