Great Wall of China 萬里長城
Simatai Great Wall 司马台長城
"The Great Wall is the best of the Chinese buildings, and Simatai is the best of the Great Wall." Comments Professor Luo Zhewen, an expert specialist on the Great Wall. Simatai was originally built during the Northern Qi dynasty (550–577) and rebuilt in the Hongwu years of the Ming dynasty. Beijing is located 120km in the southwest and, on a clear day, its many high peaked towers can view the city with distinct views. It's a strategic pass that holds the access to our previous two sections of the GW: Gubeikou 古北口 and Jinshanling 金山岭.
Simatai Great Wall is separated by a valley into eastern and western parts. The western part appears gentle with 20 well-preserved watchtowers dotting along the wall. The eastern part is much steeper, following more rugged terrain that includes cliff edges and high peaks with similar amount of towers.
Simatai local map. notice a valley with a lake separates the east and the west great wall and a cable zip line takes visitors to some towers on top of the ridges.
A hotel in Simatai
Individual room and yes there are heating and cooling systems
Looking down from the top of the zip line
The untouched beautiful lake is the result of this dam
Because there are many dangerous sections security guards, sometimes, make their round
An overview of many towers
A wide view of a part of Simatai's ridges: Cat’s Eyes Tower 猫眼樓, Fairy Maid Tower 仙女樓, and Wang Jing Lou 望京楼

Great Wall of China 万里長城
The Heavenly Ladder 天桥 that leads to 仙女樓 Tower is one of the most spectacular sight
View of Heavenly Ladder from Tower 13 (Wanghailou 望海楼
Looking west from Tower 13
Bottom of the Heavenly Ladder, Cat's eyes Tower 猫眼樓 on the left
Tianti cave with Wanghailou 望海楼 on the left
The beginning of Heavenly Ladder
The cross climb: you climb down first and then up again! A modern highway in the distance
With no safety harnesses - simply awesome

Simatai Great Wall 司马台長城 A daredevils' climb. Climbing across and up the Heavenly ladder is prohibited by law
Starting the walk down from Wangjinglou without safety gears
Let's take a breather before the climb
Let's get started
We made it. Nice blooming flowers by the Fairy Tower

Great Wall of China 萬里長城
Simatai Great Wall 司马台長城 Tower 16 - Wang Jing Lou 望京樓 (center) 986m is a highest tower of all GW as well as the highest cultural relic in Beijing. The bricks used to build the walls here even stamped with the date on which they were made and the code numbers of the armies that made them.
Looking straight up
Wangjinglou viewed from the steep climb up the mountain.
Closer look
Looking across from 聚仙楼
This is the highest point of the Great Wall as well as the general area of Beijing
Climbing around the south side of Wangjinglou is precarious and critical!

Eastward view from Wangjinglou tower towards Bailingguan 百岭关
Westward view
A long path. One can traces the footsteps of soldiers some 600 years ago.
Another one, nicely restored, going up
Many soldiers of the past probably sit here and counted the towers while they contemplating their lives.
Great view
Classic
Long winding walls

Simatai Great Wall 司马台長城 and the surroundings
Notive these houses and farms were mostly like occupied by the soldiers of yesteryears and their families. The raised livestock and farmed supplies for all other soldiers in this particular section.
A modern day tramlines for tourists
Site map
OK folks, although there are many more pictures on the Great Wall from Beijing To Bohai and Yalu River but that's all I'm going to post. I hope you enjoy them
My next project will be concentrated on the western side of the Wall all the way westward to Jiayuguan 嘉峪关 section of the wall in Gansu. Thank You and will see you later.
