We started the hike at the village called Yaoziyu, and the Ming dynasty Barrack was just located middle of the village, and few old houses inside. The hike was not very long but some part was very steep and slippery, about 2 hours walk on the wall, we have arrived the highest watch tower.
On this hike we followed part of the Huanghuacheng Great Wall towards the reservoir at the Little West Lake.
We walked in to the Walled Village (originally a Ming Dynasty barracks) and then hiked field trails to get on to the wall at Zhuangdaokou.
From there we followed a steep and unrepaired section up into the mountains, heading for the towers above the Little West Lake reservoir.
After a look about the Walled Village we started the hike with a stroll through the village gardens.

We got on the wall here, a restored part.
This group were filming something here on the wall.
Not sure about the historical authenticity of those Ming Dynasty cushions.
At the top of the stairs the repaired section ends and we’re on the ‘wild’ wall.
