The Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders in the world. Huanghuacheng is the only lakeside Great Wall in Beijing. It is one of the top destinations for a Great Wall hiking tour.
The Huanghuacheng Great Wall used to be one of the strongest wall in Beijing. It was built by General Cai in Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644). Its construction took many years to accomplish. Some traitorous officials scolded that he had spent so much money in building the wall. The emperor was very angry with General Cai. Later he ordered General beheaded!
Years later, the emperor asked his ministers to check the wall and realized that he had treated General wrongly. The wall was extremely fortified. The emperor asked the craftman to carve two Chinese characters – “Jin Tang” by the wall, literally meaning “Gold Soup” – the firm and strong. The Huangcheng Great Wall is often called “Jintang Great Wall”. The lake by the wall is called Jintang Lake.
You will enjoy the hiking on the Wall and having the beautiful view of the Jintang Lake.
