Built on a mountain ridge, the Huangyaguan Great Wall (Great Wall at Huangya Pass) is known for its steep steps and climbs, but the effort yields spectacular views. Huangyaguan, which is located farther away from Beijing than many other sections of the Great Wall, is ideal for visitors looking to explore a restored section of the wall, away from the crowds.

Q:How long is the Huangyaguan Great Wall?
A:The Huangyaguan Great Wall once spanned the 26-mile (42-kilometer) Huangyaguan Pass, connecting Beijing’s General Pass with Hebei’s Malan Pass, but today most of the wall lies in ruins. However, visitors can explore a short 1.8-mile (3-kilometer) section of the restored wall, complete with a fort, a gatehouse, and 20 watchtowers.
