Detailed Itinerary
From our Lama temple meeting point we drive for about 1.5 hour till we reach Huanghuacheng. A 30 minute flat walk on a winding little dirt road trough the chestnut orchards brings us to the unrestored section of the Huanghuacheng Great Wall. We hike for a good hour on top of the crumbled and overgrown Great Wall till we hit the lowest tower.
