Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is known as one of the nine border gateway in China. It was the cream of the the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty. It reached 1015 meters above sea level and was also the outpost of Ju Yong Guan. It is divided into two parts: the South Great Wall and the North Great Wall. The South Great Wall has seven watch towers and relatively few tourists. The North Great Wall has 12 watch towers, which are difficult to climb. Every spring, flowers blossom inside and outside the Badaling Great Wall. The magnificent Great Wall and the sea of flowers and mountains make up a magnificent picture of spring.
Juyongguan Great Wall
Juyongguan is a famous Guancheng along the Great Wall. It is called one of the three major gateway cities. Juyongguan was built along the hill, with the plaque of the most magnificent gateway city in the world hanging on the city tower. Juyongguan is surrounded by magnificent mountains with 18 kilometers of valleys, commonly known as Guangou. Here the clear flow lingers, the green peaks overlap, the flowers and trees are lush, the mountain birds contend. In the center of Juyongguan, there is a stone gate called Yuntai, which means from a very far point of view, it is like a cloud top. There are many cultural attractions in the scenic area, such as Guandi Temple, Yicui Academy, Biaozhong Temple, Fengyucang, beside which there is a small lake, which can be visited one by one.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou District. Its vegetation coverage is 96% today. It is one of the 16 new scenic spots in Beijing. The Great Wall of Yongguan in the West and Gubeikou in the east. The length of the Great Wall is 5400 meters and the open section is 2250 meters. It is the longest Great Wall in China at present. Mutianyu Great Wall has unique architectural style and dense watch towers. Three watch towers stand side by side in Zhengguantai, which is very rare in the Great Wall.
Simatai Great Wall
The Great Wall of Simatai in the North of Gubeishui Town. It is the only Great Wall in China that retains the original appearance of the Ming Dynasty. The wall is built on the steep mountain terrain and is famous for its peculiarity, speciality and danger. The whole Great Wall of Simatai is more like a golden dragon circling on the top of the winding and rolling mountains. It is magnificent. Under the magnificent Great Wall, there are scenes of Jiangnan minors, autumn wind, running water and cruise boats. All these make the formidable Great Wall flexible in an instant. Simatai Great Wall is the only Great Wall open to night tours in Beijing. You can take a night tour of Simatai with lights, which is a unique artistic conception that can not be harvested in other Great Wall sites.

Simatai Great Wall of China in the snow
There are many places to see the Great Wall of China (it is after all over 6260 km (3890 miles) in length !). The most popular sections of the wall are Badaling and Mutianyu, however if you want to see the Great Wall of China in its authentic form then the Simatai section of the Great wall is definitely a place to visit. There are magnificent views to be seen from the top of wall no matter what the weather is like !
As you can see from the video there were not a lot of tourists to to the Simatai wall that day; this is partly down to the extreme cold weather conditions that Northern China was experiencing.
The Simatai section of the Great Wall is located 120km NE of Beijing. One method of reaching the wall is by bus from Dongzhimen bus station (North East Beijing city centre) to the town of Miyun, and then take a taxi to the wall.
Note it is very important to set off early, as the bus journey by bus takes 1 1/2 hours and the taxi takes a further hour and a quarter.
When you return to Beijing eat at one the excellent restaurants located in Dongzhimen shopping centre.

Great Wall of China - Hiking in Winter
Great Wall of China - Hiking in Winter
Hiked 3 sections of the Great Wall in winter. We did it without any guides after studying blogs and posts by fellow hikers. All these sections are different. From the unrestored Gubeikou Great Wall where we were the only people around, to the wonderful Jinshanling Great Wall where the climb is steep and every direction gives you good photo opportunities, to the restored Mutianyu Great Wall where we hiked in heavy snowfall.
Stayed at local farmhouses on both nights. Ate local meals and hitched rides to nearby bath houses because the homes have no bathrooms! Temperature ranged from -5 deg C (day) to -12 deg C (night). Winter daybreak is at 7am. Sky becomes dark by 5pm. You have only 10 hrs of daylight, so plan your travelling and hiking schedules carefully!!
This once-in-a-lifetime experience was captured on video and we would like to share it with you. The feelings just can't be described. You need to experience it first hand.
Please leave a comment if you like the video. Do subscribe if you would like to be updated on future videos. Thank you.

Great Wall of China, Beijing - Winter is the best time to visit China!
The Great Wall of China is a World Heritage wonder and the only man-made structure that can be seen from outer space. It's a jaw-dropping sight at any time of the year but for a special treat, go in winter. You'd be surprised to find that winter is the best time to visit China and to explore the Great Wall without the crowds. The winter wonderland landscape is ethereal, especially when it snows on the Great Wall.
When visiting the Great Wall there are several places you can climb the wall. You can take a Badaling Great Wall tour or a Mutianyu Great Wall tour.
Visiting the Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic things to do when you're in Beijing. Walking the Great Wall of China is something everyone should try at least once. You don't have to walk the whole way. Well, you'd have to be pretty fit to do so!
It's a day trip to visit while staying in Beijing. My tour was organised by Bespoke Beijing. I stayed at China World Summit Wing in the Shangri-La Beijing.

Simatai Great Wall of China 司马台长城
The Simatai Great Wall is considered one the best sections of the wall and ranked first in a list of the World's Top 25 Scenic Spots by the Times newspaper in 2012.
The Great Wall at Simatai is also the only section opened for a night tour. You must proceed through Gubei Water Town to reach Simatai, and a reservation is required if you only plan to visit the Great Wall itself.
The wall can be reached via cable car and the views are spectacular as the wall follows the rises and peaks of the mountain tops. It is particularly impressive at night with the towers and pathway lit up.
This section was constructed under the supervision of Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
It stretches 5.4 kilometers (3.4 miles), and is separated into eastern part and western part by Mandarin Duck Lake. This section has 34 beacon towers, with 18 of them in the western part and 16 in the east. They are relatively close to each other, with the average distance apart about 140 meters (460 feet).
At present only the eastern part from No. 1 Tower to No. 10 Tower has been restored and officially opened. Another feature of Simatai is the diverse architectural styles of the beacon towers; there are two-storey or three-storey towers, and towers of square shape, oval shape, or hexagonal. The number of arrow holes on each tower also varies, and includes two, three, four, and even 24 holes. Of the towers, the most distinctive are the Fairy Maiden Tower (No. 15 East Tower) and Wangjing Tower (No. 16 East Tower). The former is the narrowest tower of this section, while the latter occupies the highest point of the whole scenic area. There is an almost vertical stairway with large steps leading to the Fairy Maiden Tower. Built over the sheer cliff makes this tower very hard to reach. #visitchina
司马台长城在2012年被“泰晤士报”评为“世界25大风景名胜”之列.Simatai的长城也是唯一一个夜间开放的部分。您必须前往古北水乡才能到达司马台,如果您只打算参观长城,则需要预约。可以通过缆车到达隔离墙,因为墙壁跟随山顶的山峰和山峰,所以景色非常壮观。晚上特别令人印象深刻,塔楼和通道都亮了起来。本节是在明朝(1368-1644)着名将军戚继光的监督下建造的。它绵延5.4公里(3.4英里),由鸳鸯湖分为东部和西部。该区有34座烽火台,其中18座位于西部,16座位于东部。它们相对较近,平均距离约为140米(460英尺)。目前只有从1号塔到10号塔的东部已经恢复并正式开放。司马台的另一个特色是烽火台的多样化建筑风格;有两层或三层塔楼,方形,椭圆形或六角形塔。每个塔上的箭孔数量也各不相同,包括两个,三个,四个甚至24个孔。在塔中,最有特色的是仙女塔(东塔15号)和望京塔(东塔16号)。前者是该区最窄的塔,而后者占据整个景区的最高点。有一个几乎垂直的楼梯,通往童话少女塔的大台阶。建在悬崖上使这座塔很难到达。
