The Great Wall of China is a miracle of the world, a symbol of human civilization, and a historical monument that unites the Chinese nation. There are many ruins of the Great Wall and are widely distributed. The Badaling Great Wall and Mutianyu Great Wall are widely known because they were restored and opened early. However, the story about the Great Wall is not limited to that. Today, classmate Panda will take you to explore those unknown stories of the Great Wall and approach the Great Wall., feel the different charm of the majestic Great Wall.

The Great Wall is one of the most unique upside down Great Wall here, and there is also a Great Wall banquet that the old gluttons never forget.

Banchangyu is a completely different Qinhuangdao from what you imagine. It still maintains the most primitive and simple style of the Great Wall, with broken walls and ruins and overgrown weeds. Looking up at the top of the cliff, the Great Wall is lined up on the high ridge, with ups and downs and winding. Here is the unique "Upside-down Great Wall" among the Great Wall, which hangs down from the sky and is difficult to walk., attracting countless old donkeys to challenge.

In addition to the majestic Wild Great Wall that is impressive and amazing, Banchang Valley also hides the Great Wall Protection Workstation. It is not as magnificent as the Great Wall. The area is only Baiping. Unknown Great Wall volunteers carefully guard this courtyard. Brick and stone in the courtyard tell us the stories of those guarding the city wall: Rolling grinding stones, water-suppressing beasts, stone cannons, weights, Buddhist shrines, canals... Seeing them, we not only admire the ancients for building the majestic Great Wall, but also proud of their persistence in guarding the Great Wall.

I would also recommend a special meal in Banchangyu-the Great Wall Banquet at the Foot of the Ming Great Wall. Sitting in the Banchangyu Hotel at the foot of the Great Wall, the dining table decorated with quince leaves is covered with various rural delicacies, such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, edamame, tender water tofu, and of course, the most distinctive local hot pot known as meat pot. It seems to be neatly covered with various tofu and sausages on the surface, but in fact it is also filled with kelp, cuttlefish, chicken and pickled cabbage on the bottom. It is not only eye-opening, but also enjoyable to eat.

Huanghua City Water Great Wall, climb the Great Wall to see the scenery and eat chestnut mushrooms

The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall was built during the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. After Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty established the capital in Beijing, he built the Ming Emperor Mausoleum and the Ming Tombs in the sun of Tianshou Mountain in Changping, and Huanghua Town is north of Tianshou Mountain. Therefore, this Great Wall not only protects the northern gate of the capital, but also protects the Ming Emperor Mausoleum. An important gateway to the Ming Emperor Mausoleum.

The Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall was not standing in the water at the beginning of its establishment, but because the dam was blocked and the water level rose and obliterated the Great Wall at its trough, so three sections of the Great Wall were submerged in the water. If you have seen the magnificent and majestic Great Wall winding over high mountains, you may not have felt the beautiful Great Wall that both circles over the ridge and surrounds the shores of Haoming Lake. The lake water naturally cuts off the Great Wall. It is unclear whether the Great Wall is playing in the water or whether the water is playing on the Great Wall.

In the autumn chestnut fragrance season, there is also a Ming Dynasty chestnut garden with an area of 100 acres in the Great Wall of Huanghua City. More than 40 ancient chestnut trees have deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Among them, the most unforgettable is the 800-year-old chestnut tree king who has experienced vicissitudes and is energetic. He still produces chestnuts every year. Walking in the chestnut garden, my feet are covered with prickly chestnut shells falling from the trees, which is quite interesting in autumn.

When the Qin Emperor toured Jieshi in the east and passed through Qinhuangdao, he successively sent Lu Sheng, Hou Gong and others to the sea to seek the elixir of immortality. Qinhuangdao is named. Strolling by the sea, thinking about the past.

When you come to Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world in Qinhuangdao, you must have a delicious meal. This is the marching food brought by the Qing army when entering the Pass. In the era of material scarcity, local people could only eat it during the New Year. Today, the muddy pot is getting richer and richer. Pork belly, meatballs, pickled cabbage, chicken nuggets, octopus, crabs, frozen tofu, braised seeds, prawns, sea rice, and ribs are neatly stacked. The rich chicken soup is the base, and the steaming cloisonne hot pot is the base. The dipping ingredients are also quite rich and exquisite. The dipping ingredients such as sesame paste, fermented bean curd, leek flowers, hot sauce, sweet garlic, minced coriander, etc. are all prepared. The red, green and green ones are very fond. Remember to serve it with this crispy sesame cake. It's so enjoyable and satisfying!

Listen to social opera and eat a pig's trotters feast in the century-old village at the foot of the Great Wall

Changyu City, which has been a border fortress and a military center since ancient times, is an independent century-old village at the foot of the Great Wall. The most special thing is that it still retains the "tradition of singing social opera" here. Changyu City was established as a village in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of five to six hundred years. There are complete barns, city walls, ancient houses and temples inside and outside the city. The city wall divides the village into two cities: old and new. The existence of the ancient city and ancient temples confirms Changyu City's long history.

In the evening, in the century-old village, drink scutellaria tea hand-collected by villagers on the mountains and eat an authentic pig's trotters feast. The meat of the pig's trotters is fat but not greasy. It melts immediately in the mouth. The stewed heat is excellent. It is paired with farmhouse braised pork, stewed chicken, cabbage and bean bubbles, and special delicacies.

After night in Changyucheng Village, villagers who worked during the day gathered on the backyard stage of Yongxing Temple to beat drums and gongs, mix them with costumes, or cheer from the stage to jointly create an authentic social drama at the foot of the Great Wall. Changyu City has a history of singing social opera for nearly 600 years. Every year, social opera is performed in the village on the first month of the year and some traditional lunar festivals. Social opera evolved from Hebei Bangzi, but when it arrived in Changyu City, it became its own unique singing.
