Your will enjoy a delicious local lunch in the village. Afterwards, you will be taken by a cable car to reach the top of the Simatai Great Wall.

Distinct from other developed sections like Badaling, Juyongguan and Mutianyu, renovations at Simatai have focused only on essential reinforcement work. Its original appearance is still preserved to let you feel the truly historic atmosphere.  Simatai section was constructed under the supervision of Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It stretches 5.4 kilometres (3.4 miles), and is separated into eastern part and western part by Mandarin Duck Lake. Simatai has 34 beacon towers, they are relatively close to each other, with the average distance apart about 140 metres (460 feet).  Presently, only the eastern part from No. 1 Tower to No. 10 Tower has been restored and officially opened.  This fantastic tour will end by driving you back to your centrally located hotel in Beijing.
