Simatai Great Wall
Back to the eighth tower ( white cloud tower )
You are not a hero till you climb up the Great Wall. We are heros now! Back to the eighth tower, we take a rest and have a final look at the fantastic Simatai Great Wall. By the tower, there is a stand selling two kinds of certficates manifesting that you have climbed up the Simatai Great Wall. One certificate looks like a gold medal; the other is a marble certificate. They can have your names carved on the certificates. Our British couple are happy to buy both of the certificates as interesting souvenirs to perfect their 5-day Beijing Great Wall hike tour.
Walk from the eighth tower to the cableway station
We 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.
Having a farmhouse lunch and back to the downtown Beijing
We have luch at a farmhouse near the Simatai Great Wall. The couple are excited to see more of Beijing, an experience for them.
We are back to Beijing with lingering memory of the magnificent Great Wall. Hate to say bye to the Great Wall, hope someday return here to be immersed in the beauty again. Life is so beautiful.
Remark: Well organized, uniformally dressed, thirty-some local farmers, or the local hawkers you may call them, keep an eye on each individual tourist and follow them from the beginning to the end everyday! They make a living by being a little useful for you during your hike in the hope that you will at last buy some their tourist books or souvenirs. Don't be frustrated by these dutiful farmers. To pay a little to know more about local life is not a bad thing. Enjoy your trip!
