Huangyaguan is open everyday - as far as I know from 08:00 to 16:00. I recommend you to buy a ticket to the small open bus when you buy the tickets. The bus will take you to Taipingzhai and from there it's mostly downhill back to Huangyaguan, however there are some steep climbs in between but not very long. About half way you can rent a horse to take you down, but if you have the energy (down hill from here) I recommend you to walk - it's a very beautiful area. I have my own car so for me transport is no problem. I'm sure you can find a bus to take you there, and the hotel in Tianjin most likely arrange one day trips to Huangyaguan also - or at least they can help you to arrange the transport. Here's some useful links: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china_great_wall/scene/tianjin/huangyaguan.htm http://www.chinahighlights.com/greatwall/section/huangyaguan-pass.htm http://www.china.org.cn/olympics/host_cities/2007-07/25/content_1218524.htm I wish you a nice and enjoyable trip to China and the Great Wall! At the moment there seems to be fog all day, so my best advice is just to avoid the heat in the middle of the day, so an early morning might be a good idea too.

We will leave in 10 days and were wondering if this Huangyaguan/Taipingzhai- wall site is open to public every day or just the weekends?.Any opening-times available? Do you advice us to do the same route? And are the horses a good idea to you to go up or are there other alternative ways up or down. I understand it is an exhausting climb. Because of the fog the afternoon might be a better time to go. How did you arrange the transport from Tianjin?
