Itinerary
At 12:30pm(noon),your driver will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel and drive you to Simatai Great Wall, need 2.5hrs driving, 150km.
The Simatai Great Wall, it has always been popular among all the sections of Great Wall for its steepness and queerness. You walk through the open area from Tower 1 to Tower 10 along the east section. Keep in mind that walking along the wall requires quite some physical effort, especially in some very steep parts!
The path lead to the first two towers is long but gentle, and is comparatively easy to reach. But after that, the wall gradually rises and the stairs become steep and rugged. Sometimes you need to climb with your hands. The strong wind makes your way up even more difficult. As you climb up, the path gets steeper. But when reached the tenth tower, you will find all the sweat, fear and thrill are worth it. Looking back, you will see the wall stretching along the mountain ranges and extends into distance, just like a huge dragon. The rugged stairs and broken towers stand firmly against strong wind, telling stories of the eventful past of this country. The wall after the tenth watchtower is not open to visitors as it is too dangerous and some renovation work is going on.
Next, go to Gubei water town by cable car. The newly built Gubei Water Town (Beijing Wtown) at the foot of the mountain adds some elegance and softness to the wall. In the later afternoon, you can have a leisure time in the Water Town, where you may have a dinner on your own. After dinner, you can walking around town . You know,the water town at night is indeed mesmerizing, for it and the Great Wall merge into one splendid view, which features the softness and gentleness of China’s water towns in the south of the country and also exposes the magnificence of the rivers and mountains in northern China. At the moment, if possible, you might as well rent a small boat to carry your down the stream, appreciating the night views on both sides. The water town at night appears splendid. It is like you go back in time to experience the life of a fairy god or goddess.
At the end, you will drive back to your hotel with a comfortable transfer. Your memorable day trip ends here.
