Itinerary

Day 01: Your hotel in Beijing - Jinshanling - Simatai Great Wall ( L D )
At 8:00am pick you up from your hotel in downtown Beijing. Arrival at Jinshanling Great Wall around 11:00am. Then hike from the east sections of the Jinshanling Great Wall to the west section of Simatai Great Wall. The hike is about 12km and takes about 4-5 hours. Remark: simple box-meal lunch on the way.


Get down the wall at the foot of Simatai at about 4:00pm and check-in at a local inn - Simatai Great Wall Hotel located below the Simatai Great Wall.


Take a bath and have some relaxation. Enjoy a local dinner at Simatai Great Wall Hotel.


Day 02: Simatai Great Wall - Downtown Beijing ( B L )
Today hiking the east section of Simatai Great Wall for 2-3 hours in the morning. There are in total sixteen watchtowers built at intervals along this space and it will take about 2-3 hours to reach the twelfth watchtower. Beyond this stage the condition of the stairs and walkways is poor and the passage becomes both steep and narrow which means that it is often safer to use the adjacent footpath rather than try to walk on the Wall itself. So the towers from 13th to 16th are not allowed to hike.


Then walk about 15 minutes from the eighth tower to the cableway station on the slope of the mountain. The cable car is set for two persons, a romantic design. It is smooth and comfortable. The cable car sliding down gives you a changing angle to enjoy the mountain scene. The fee for one way cable car is included.


Get off the cable car and have lunch at local restaurant. After lunch, get back to your hotel downtown Beijing later afternoon. ( B L )
