The Great Wall under Water (Xifengkou Great Wall) |
The Great Wall extends 220 kilometers in Tangshan. Along the Great Wall, there are many scenic spots worth visiting. The reception facilities are fairly complete. Visitors can try the local farmer's meal when enjoying the imposing gesture of the old wall.
Xifengkou Great Wall, or the Great Wall under water is quite unique among many Great Wall sections in Tangshan. Located 40 kilometers to the north of Qianxi county, most part of Xifengkou Great Wall has been flooded by the construction of Panjiakou Reservoir. But some sections are still dimly visible. The combination of natural scenery and cultural relics makes Xifengkou Great Wall a hot travel destination.
Transport: Visitors can drive along Jingshen Expressway, get off at Fengrun Exit, go north along Fengdong Road to Qianxi county, drive west along Bangkuan Road and arrive at Xifengkou Great Wall.
