  • Simatai Great Wall

    In 1987, the Great Wall of simatai was listed on the world heritage list. It is the only ancient architectural site in China that retains the original appearance of the Ming dynasty. Professor luo zhewen, a famous expert on the Great Wall of China, said that "the Great Wall of China is the largest in the world, while the Great Wall of simatai is the largest in China". In 2012, simatai's Great Wall was rated by The Times of Britain as the "top 25 must-see scenic spots in the world". Simatai Great Wall to risk, secret, strange, clever, and all - known. Danger is that it was built on the ridge of the knife and axe, breathtaking; "Secret" refers to the distance between the enemy buildings. The distance between the two buildings is the nearest dozens of meters, the furthest is no more than 300 meters, and the average distance is only 140 meters. "Strange" refers to the simatai Great Wall mountain steep and steep, majestic and magnificent, and under the mountain yuanyang lake, yuanyang lake is from the cold spring and hot spring intersection, blue waves, sparkling, constitute the lake-mountain beauty; "Qiao" is reflected in the step by step of the barrier wall, into the offensive can be defended; "All" refers to the unique and varied architectural styles of the towers and the enemy towers. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Great Wall of simatai is the only Great Wall that can be visited at night in Beijing. This is the most authentic scenic spot of the Great Wall in Beijing. The highest beacon tower on the Great Wall is called wangjing tower. Standing at wangjing tower, you can not only see the majesty of the Great Wall, but also look at the night of gubeishui town. it's called wangjing tower, because in the past you could see the lights of the city of Beijing from standing here, There are two ways to visit the Great Wall. You can walk or take a cableway. If you take a cableway, you can get to the Great Wall in seven or eight minutes. The fifth beacon tower can be reached after a 10-minute walk from the ropeway. At present, only 10 beacon towers in the east are open to the simatai Great Wall. The higher you climb, the steeper and narrower the road becomes. Here also want to remind visitors friends, although simatai Great Wall cable car up and down and flat walkway have been developed and mature, but we climb the Great Wall to enjoy the scenery at the same time, or to improve safety awareness. after you visit, go back to meet point, then your driver will drop off you at your located hotel in Beijing or Beijing Capital airport or Beijing train station.

Outstanding Limo Service to Simatai

Published on Jan, 2025

We were picked up at our hotel by Mr Liu, our driver, in a clean Mercedes C-Class. Mr Liu was a safe driver, courteous, and made the 2 hour journey a pleasant one. He was also focused on ensuring that we have a good time; when we asked him what time should we return to the car, he said there isn’t a time limit, key is for us to enjoy ourselves. Outstanding service from Linda’s, highly recommended!

Private evening trip to Gubei Watertown and Simatai Great Wall

Published on Dec, 2024

My driver Mr Liu was always on time and drove safely. He also helped with the ticket purchase, and did not set a time limit for us to enjoy the sights, where he said that the key is for us to enjoy the trip. Very good service!

Very good day

Published on Sep, 2024

The Simatai section of the Great Wall was challenging and fun, even in the rain. The Gubel water town was modern and interesting. The Water Town did not seem to really come to life until the afternoon. The driver did not speak English, but effectively communicated with a translation app. He purchased Asian pears and moon cakes to enhance our exposure to local products on the trip there and back. He was as good as most guides/drivers who spoke English. It was a very good day.
