Located about 15 km west of Mutianyu, Huanghuacheng is where you can see the Great Wall submerged in a lake. Travel by bus from central Beijing and, with Great Wall admission and a round-trip boat ride included, admire the wall from the water. Less crowded than Mutianyu, it offers a quiet, rustic atmosphere where you can hike freely for about 5 hours. An English-speaking guide accompanies you on the bus.

by bus for Huanghuacheng
At 8:00 AM, meet your guide in a red vest at the designated meeting point and board the bus. The drive to the Huanghuacheng Great Wall takes about 2 hours, and on arrival around 10:30 AM your guide leads you to the scenic area entrance.
See the submerged Great Wall from a boat

Take the included round-trip boat ride and enjoy views of the Great Wall running down to the water's edge. Huanghuacheng is not as well known as Mutianyu, so there are fewer crowds and less noise, letting you explore in a peaceful atmosphere.
Hike freely along the wall for 5 hours
