HIGHLIGHTS
SiMaTai Great Wall
Located 2.5 hour drive north east of Beijing in Gubeikou Town.
This section of the Great Wall is regarded by many as the most beautiful and memorable, due to its well preserved state and Ming Dynasty features.
The steps are sectioned by a watch tower, each unique and dominant, and provides a place to rest before continuing onto the next. The scenery is magnificent, overlooking a reservoir and neighbouring mountain ridges, where the wall spines its way into the distance.
Simatai Great Wall. which is well-known for its five characters of “steepness, compactness, queerness, wonderfulness, and comprehensiveness”, is located inGubeikou Town to the north-east of Miyun, Beijing. Simatai Great wall is exquisite in its details and is grand as a whole, which is the only part of ancient Great Walls with the original features of Ming Dynasty well reserved.
CHENGDE, a small country town 250km northeast of Beijing, is surrounded by the Yunshan mountain range. On its outskirts are remnants from its glory days as the summer retreat of the Manchu emperors. In recent years it has once more become a summer haven, filling up at weekends with Beijingers escaping the hassles of the capital.
