Stone Valley GreatWall Crossing Line
Stone valley Great Wall is located in Yanqing, starting from the village gives us a longer hike and some different angles view of the Great Wall. One small section hasn’t been restored yet. Also, It is an important military fortress in the history. The leader Mr. Li, zicheng attached in Beijing from here, who became the emperor but only lasting 48 days. There are two ways to hike these area. We are planing to go a crossing line and walk throught tourist place. (If we are blocked at the beginning of the hike, then we will hike its neighbor - Chenjiapu Greatwall.) Because of its higher altitude and nice sunlight, the leaves on the mountains should be colorful now. It is the first time we organize the trail in October. Let's enjoy the golden season.
