Xiangshuihu Ancient Great Wall. It's the unrestored section, and it has a unique geographical location and beautiful natural landscape. It's undoubtedly one of the most significant attraction for the tourists. The Great Wall is located by a dam, but the dam has been dried up for a long time. Now in the bottom of the dam grows lush dense woods. If you wish to visit some other alternative section of Great Wall, such as Badaling, please feel free to make your special request at time of booking.

The Great Wall is amazing...
The Great Wall is amazing and a must see. This tour is only 2 parts. The third part is unrestored and visitors are not allowed. You MUST be in at least decent physical condition to truly enjoy the wall.
