I don't think it's official. I have always considered the road to be the dividing line. Anything west of the road is Zhuandgaokou to me. But it looks like the Wall was rebuilt to the first tower to the west of the road so maybe that could be considered the end of Huanghuacheng. In other words, the rebuilt part is Huanghuacheng and the "good" part is Zhuangdaokou.

That's the Erdaoguan Great Wall! It can be reached about half way between Zhuangdaokou and Xishuiyu at 40°25'0.75"N 116°18'50.50"E, or by following the road through Huanghuacheng to Erdaoguan.

Great, thanks for the info. Maybe next time I will ask our driver to take us there for a little visit, looks like an interesting hike

I made a second visit to this part and walked all the way to Xishuiyu. I very pleasant walk that only took just over 5 hours (with rest periods, the temperature was 37 degrees). Again, not really sure when Zhuangdaokou ends and Xishuiyu begins so I shall take a guess and post pictures only up until the tower where it branches off to head towards Erdaoguan. Enjoy...

Nice pictures , thanks for sharing .
Well , this is the tower at 40°25'0.75"N 116°18'50.50"E branches off to head towards Erdaoguan , it might be the Zhuangdaokou ends and Xishuiyu begins as well .
