April

  • Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall Mountain Peach Blossom and Apricot Blossom

The reason why Huanghuacheng is called the Great Wall in the water is because the dam intercepts the flow, which causes the water level to rise, and the Great Wall in the trough is submerged in the water, forming the Great Wall playing in the water, and the scene of the ancient city wall is submerged in the water, which is a unique scenic spot. And the landscape of the three sections of the Great Wall entering the water like Huanghuacheng is indeed unique in China. There are poems: the city embraces the blue waves, and the water does not have the ancient city wall; The city and water echo each other, and the magnificence is leisurely. Huanghuacheng has "three uniques".

The Great Wall built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty hovers on the ridge and surrounds the shore of Haoming Lake, with beautiful and spectacular scenery. "Two unique" Ming Dynasty chestnut orchards, ancient trees are intertwined, and the forms are different. The "Three Uniques" lake naturally disconnects the Great Wall, forming a peculiar landscape of the Great Wall playing in the water and the water submerging the Great Wall.

The Great Wall of Water in Huanghuacheng is all over the mountains, and the first to bloom is the mountain peach blossom, and the apricot blossom blooms a week later.
