schedule updates on huanghuacheng transportation

Question

Hi there,Thank you for the great detail listed above on this section of the wall.I would just like to confirm the bus schedules and directions to Huanghuacheng is still accurate:Take bus No. 867 or 936 from Dongzhimen Station to Nan Hua Yuan Si Qu, it runs from 07:00 to 19:00 leaving every 15 - 20 minutes every day. Connect to Shuichangcheng (water great wall). This bus runs every 40 – 50 minutes. How often does the connecting bus run? Is the 916 bus route still applicable?

Hi Sarah,We're just on the bus to the wall from Huairou. Took the 916, from where we were guided out at a stop. Do not know which one it was, but there were minibus-drivers asking for from 30yuan/person to 150 total to take us to the wall. Luckily we met a friendly bus driver that took us to the right bus stop. Continued straight on from the 916 stop and turned right at the first crossing. Then from traffic lights to the left and stay on the left side - there's a bus stop. We are now in a small local bus that is taking us to Shuizhachang (or however it is written). The locals at the stop knew the bus. Waited for about 15min. There is no number I think, just Chinese letters.

Oh and I forgot, this stop was on the 867 route (en-route from central or not, heaven knows) and costs 9yuan
