Built in Ming Dynasty, Yongle reign (1403-1424), Huanghuacheng Great Wall has been standing here over 600 years as the North Guardian of Beijing. It has not only absorbed various virtues of majestic Badaling Great Wall and charming Mutianyu Great Wall but also sent forth its own glamour. Embellished by a wide variety of flowers and greenery, the wall and lake were ablaze with the color of all seasons.

The Great Wall winding over rugged mountain range draws an outline of the mountain shape. Together with the blue sky and reflections in water, a brightly colored painting presents before eyes.

In year 1974, a reservoir was built, which caused raising of water level. Some parts of the wall were inundated and it led to the current unique features. Now, visitors can still see the underwater parts of this giant "sleeping dragon". Visitors can also walk along the cliff road and take a boat to experience different aspects of this resort.

Apart from above scenery, travelers can stroll along a chestnut garden as well, or even join some watersports or go camping during summer time.
