The Great Wall at Huanghuacheng  - Huanghuacheng
Changcheng - Beijing 黄花城水长城

Huanghuacheng (Yellow Flower City) Great Wall, 65 km north of Beijing, is
the latest section to become popular with hikers. During summer, the
countryside around Huanghua cheng Great Wall is swathed in yellow, as
masses of wild flowers come into bloom.

It is almost 11 kilometers long and joins with
Mutianyu Great Wall in the east,
and
Juyongguan Pass and Badaling in the west. Huanghua cheng provides
a challenge as it has no stone steps or no single smooth path like the ones
found at Badaling and other sections of the Great Wall.

There is a lake and a reservoir nearby. The crescent shaped reservoir is
called Huanghuacheng Reservoir, while the name of the lake is Jintang. The
water of the lake is cold and clear, and it is fed by numerous springs. A
sluice gate has been built on Jintang Lake, over which water flows in the
summer. Parts of Huanghua cheng Great Wall were destroyed and fell into
Jintang Lake after being bombed during the Japanese invasion of China half
a century ago.

The entire section of wall comprises of six forts, six passes, twelve beacon-
towers, and thirty-two guard towers. Among them, Yaoziyu Fort is the best
preserved. Covering an area of 7,000 square meters, it was built in 1592.
There is a scholar tree standing in the castle courtyard that was planted in
that same year.

The steepest section of Huanghuacheng Great Wall is known as Shibadeng
, and requires special care when climbing, especially after rain.

黄花城水长城

北京黄花城水长城旅游区位于北京市怀柔区九渡河镇境内,距北京市区65公里,怀柔区中心西北35公里。是以奇而著称,以秀为特
色,融山川、碧水、古长城为一体的旅游休闲胜地。

  这里三季有花,四季有景,山清水秀,鸟语花香。她四周群山环抱,林木茂盛苍翠,形成了一年四季内绚丽多姿的植物景观。
九分山水一分田,青山碧水两相恋。至此既可欣赏秀丽的湖光山色,又可观长城的清灵俊秀,还有绿树红花相伴身旁。使人有远离
城市喧器,回归大自然的美妙感觉。而这里的“三绝景”更是引人入胜,叹为观止。

  “一绝”建于明永乐年间(1404)的长城雄伟险峻气势磅礴,盘旋于山脊之上,环绕在灏明湖畔,景色秀美壮观。此处长城不仅是
守卫京师的北大门,而且成为护卫明皇陵“十三陵”的重要门户,是明长城的精华所在。

  “二绝”湖水将三段长城自然断开,形成长城戏水、水没古城垣的奇特景观。也是京郊独特的可近距离触摸的“山间碧玉,水中长
城”,而像黄花城三段长城入水的景观在国内确是绝无仅有。有诗云:城抱碧波涟,水没古城垣;城水相呼应,壮美自悠然。

  “三绝”明代板栗园,古树盘根错节,形态各异。那巨龙戏珠之躯和撑掩苍天之冠,令人嘬舌赞不绝口。明代守城将士三分守
边,七分垦种,他们辛勤劳动栽培了大明板栗,如此大面积的古栗园,虽饱经风霜,但仍根深叶茂。可谓京郊独一无二的人文奇
观。有诗赞曰:古栗苍苍满坡生,历经风雨仍从容;不吝献出丰硕果,颗粒饱满誉满城。

  过木桥、涉小溪、跨怪石、沿古道,上行可达黑龙潭。途中,龙尾洞、紫翠峰、醉女山、石浪谷、情人峰、三珠连潭等自然景
观更是令人目不暇接,流连忘返。可谓“东连渤海仙源古、西映居庸紫翠重”。

  古城敌台入云端,一泓碧水抱石垣;古栗根深枝叶茂,水城山色一洞天。黄花城水长城旅游区以它那古朴的情怀、独有的魅
力,迎接着四方友人和八方来客。
黄花城水长城 必赏景观

景区内有百亩明代板栗园,共有古栗树40余棵。其胸径平均在90厘米以上,树龄多在400年以上。园内棵棵古树盘根错节,形态各
异,虽饱经风霜,但仍根深叶茂。那巨龙戏珠之躯和撑掩苍天之冠,令人嘬舌赞不绝口。明代守城将士三分守边,七分垦种,他们
辛勤劳动栽培了大明板栗,如此大面积的古板栗园,可谓京郊独一无二的人文奇观。有诗赞曰:古栗苍苍满坡生,历经风雨仍从
容;不吝献出丰硕果,颗粒饱满誉满城。

  黑龙潭位于景区最西端,四面环山,水面碧绿清幽,有泉眼从潭底涌出,水质清冽,冰冷彻骨。夏日,外面酷暑难熬,潭内却
清爽宜人。有诗云:瀑落岩下一小渊,千古溪流聚为潭;水静波平澈见底,坐岸小酌尽以欢。

  游船码头位于中心半岛西侧,主要有手划船和脚踏船两种项目。游客不仅可以在此乘船荡舟湖上,也可纳凉休息,欣赏秀丽风
景。

Huanghua Cheng or Yellow Flower Wall is
far less developed than most other great
walls with less tourists and lots of
empty,dramatic panoramas. The great
