Of course you have to hike to climb the Great Wall~

After visiting the end of the quaint Gubei Water Town, you will reach the entrance to climb the majestic Simatai Great Wall. There are two ways to climb the Great Wall, one is walking and the other is taking the cable car. Next to the Simatai Cableway Station, there is the entrance to the Great Wall walking trail. A long, slightly sloping and easy-to-walk mountain road leads directly to the No. 2 Peak Fire Tower. I bought a combined ticket for Simatai Great Wall and cable car (including a one-way cable car). Since we are here to climb the Great Wall, we must find a way to climb the entire Great Wall. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk from the entrance of the scenic area to the place where we climb the Great Wall, which is the East 2 Peak Fire Tower. You can save time by taking the cable car. But this section of the hiking trail is from the foot of the mountain to the hillside. In fact, the trail is relatively flat and not very strenuous. Moreover, it walks along the shore of Yuanyang Lake. The surrounding lake and mountain scenery is very beautiful and you can overlook the entire Gubei Water Town. It is very comfortable to walk along the Great Wall on the trail and you can also challenge your endurance and physical fitness. #Beijing Attractions #World Cultural Heritage #The Great Wall #Night Tour of Simatai Great Wall #Hiking Scenery
