Wohushan is located just opposite to Panlongshan, divided by the Beijing-Chengde Expressway. Like Panlongshan, most parts of the Wall is so deteriorated that it would be impossible to walk upon it. Only experienced guides can get on the trail to find the Wall where you can climb and enjoy the superior views from the watchtowers.
