Enjoy this tranquil section of the wall with its majestic mountains as a backdrop. Take advantage of this striking area with its fifteen watchtowers, steep gradients offering an ever-changing perspective and the balance of wild forest with the best preserved section of the Great Wall. Hike from Jinshanling towards Simatai West ending at the 22nd watchtower. See the gradual change from the restored areas of the wall near Jinshanling and the deteriorated sections as you come closer to Simatai West. Observe how the watchtowers in this section have three to four embrasures versus the one to two their counterparts in other sections have. Note the varying shapes of the watchtowers, due to the varying terrain.

Sit back and relax on the drive back to Beijing in an air-condition vehicle.
