It will take 2-2.5 hours to arrive Simatai Great Wall.
Simatai Great Wall is one of the few sections to retain the original appearance of the Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall incorporated the different characteristics of each section . A specialist on the Great Wall,has said “The Great Wall is the best of the Chinese buildings, and Simatai is the best of the Great Wall.” . It is often described with the following five words: perilous, dense, diverse, artful, and peculiar.UNESCO has designated Simatai Great Wall as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites.
However this section of the Wall was closed since 2010.It seems the developer in charge of renovating Simatai has instead purchased the Simatai property only to focus on building a Suzhou-style watertown called “Gubei Watertown”. Until now there are 10 watchtowers of the Simatai Great Wall are open to the public. Now it is more like a Resort, including 2 five star hotels,6 botique hotels, 400 houses ,shops and restaurants.Although all these commerical buildings made this section more touristy ,however the Great Wall itself never lost its characteristics.On Simatai’s official website shows,private tourists visit Simtai section need to make a reservation online ,we do have tourists been there without reservation.So if you want to book this tour it is better to let us know in advance.
