Hike and cruise the lake-side Huanghuacheng Great Wall near Beijing. Low crowds, boat views, and a smooth one-day plan.
“The part of the wall we went to was very pretty and nearly empty of tourists save for our relatively small group. Cici gave us a lot of information about the wall's construction in both English and Chinese, and was a friendly guide throughout.
