5.00This trip to the Great Wall of Huanghuacheng was an excellent experience. We were contacted the day before by Cici our companion to explain the details of the day. The same day during the bus ride she explained the history of the Great Wall. Arriving on site, she took care of collecting the various tickets needed to access the wall and the various activities proposed (optional). The place is superb with a very mountainous and lush landscape and the Great Wall that winds over the ridges and close to the water. In conclusion a very nice day.
Ok

5.00Cici was very kind and helpful. Everything ok: punctual and good transport. The place was not bad but maybe there are more scenic features of the Wall
