Huanghuacheng Great Wall at the Jintang Lake
After finishing the walking tour at the Huanghuacheng Great Wall at reservoir section, we settle down at a nice farmhouse under the Huanghuacheng Great Wall by Jintang Lake.This section is just 1-2km northeast of Xishuiyu Village ( Huanghuacheng Great Wall at the reservoir ), an popular starting point for hiking Huanghuacheng Great Wall, known as Jintang Huanghuacheng Great Wall since this section of Huanghuacheng Great Wall is cut through by Jintang Lake.
Next morning we visit the Huanghuacheng Great Wall at the Jintang Lake section. We find the two Chinese words "Jin Tang" on the cliff on the roadside on the west of Jintang Lake. "Jin Tang" literally means "Gold Soup" - the firm and strong. The Huangcheng Great Wall is often called "Jintang Great Wall".
Jintang lake is a good spot where you can take a photogenic view of the Great Wall higher hugging the mountain. Crossing the dam over Jintang Lake, you may start your climb up the Wall. At the time of my writing, Jintang Huanghuacheng Great Wall is still unrestored and not offcially open to the public. You will be held responsible for your safety and suggested to apply for your travel insurrance for your coverage of injury or accident.
