Dongzhimen to Huairou and then a minibus or taxi; two hrs). The Yellow Flower Wall gets its name from the profusion of sweet-smelling flowers which characterize this remote area in summer, and the unreconstructed section here offers some fairly easygoing, beautiful hiking until you reach the steep “camel’s back. However, the wall here is being restored, which will inevitably lead to tourist buses and more visitors, but for the time-being it remains a peaceful spot. The road cuts through the wall and if you turn right from where you’re dropped you’ll rise high above a reservoir before reaching a steep, rubbly ascent, which might be enough to make you turn around. But, if you continue, after another 10 or 15 minutes you’ll come to a path leading down to the road from where you should be able to get a bus or taxi (¥20) back to Huairou and then a bus back to Beijing.
