laoniuwan valley, where the great wall meets the yellow river, is located at the border of north china's shanxi province and inner mongolia autonomous region.
it is considered one of the most beautiful valleys in china.
due to underdeveloped transport infrastructure, tourism in laoniuwan village has lagged behind other famed destinations.
