Čo robiť v Simatai Great Wall

We had a wonderful day visiting the Great Wall, and Susie made the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming from start to finish. We were given clear information and took our time visiting. The village was beautiful, the food was delicious too. We left feeling relaxed and well looked after.

Dnes som mala veľmi pekný deň na Veľkom múre! Angela mi dala veľa tipov, ako sa vyhnúť dlhým radom, takže sa mi podarilo navštíviť východnú aj západnú stranu za jediný deň a navyše som si potom dala obed! Mám pocit, že je to veľmi odporúčaný výlet pre každého, kto chce navštíviť Veľký múr na jeden deň, najmä pre sólo cestovateľov! :)

Sprievodca pán Liu bol nadšený, priateľský a pozorný, dokázal sa plne postarať o dospelých aj deti. Plán cesty bol vhodne usporiadaný, čo nám umožnilo pohodlne si prezrieť rôzne miesta v Pekingu. Dúfame, že v budúcnosti budeme môcť Peking opäť navštíviť. Ďakujeme, ďakujeme.

Our trip was on 7th Oct and thankfully no crowd. Gubei water town is really beautiful and we walked through the town with canals, Yongshun Dye House, had a lot of food at the food street - fried radish cake was the best, spicy sour noodles, spicy lamb skewers, blindbox icecream. We also walked to the church at the hill top for a near sunset view of Gubei town. The main highlight was going to Simitai Great Wall twice, day and night. We bought separate cable car trips for both. For day, we took the difficult climb to Tower 8 and walked to Tower 11 and back to Tower 8. The views were magnificent you can also see the lake at Tower 9. For the night climb, we took the cable car at 6pm (after soaking our feet at the footbath too!) and walked to Tower 5 and 6 to enjoy the illuminated great wall and also a nice night view of Gubei Water Town. This is definitely a not to be missed day trip if you are visiting Beijing. Simitai is very steep at some parts so visiting Mutianyu first is good too.

This was a great trip, the water village is beautiful. You can add on extras such as taking a boat to the eating street in the main area, shuttle, return cable car tickets to the Great Wall. The opt-in lunch is a hot pot. It wasnt too crowded and quite peaceful at both the Wall and village. The wall isnt as maintained as the others, but good to see its original state.It does take about 2 hours each way, but worth it. The Great Wall is open either for a morning session until 5pm, then for the evening session from 6pm which is lit beautifully for a smaller section. Bring good footwear and sun protection.

Rýchle odpovede od Klook. Stojí to za tú cenu. Doslova som mohol preskúmať severnú aj južnú stranu múru. Vzal som lanovku blízko stanice vysokorýchlostnej železnice, išiel som pešo dole kopcom a vyšiel som na juh, a potom som sa vrátil električkou.

Our trip to China has been amazing so far, especially today visiting Mutianyu, Gubei, and Simatai with Jane! She’s so friendly and genuine, it honestly feels like hanging out with a friend rather than a guide. She was super patient, never rushed us, speaks great English, and made sure to snap plenty of photos so we’d have awesome memories. Very recommended!!

It was a very long and fulfilling day, from 8.30am meet up till drop off at 10.30pm. Our group of 20pax were mostly Europeans, 3 Japanese, 2 Taiwanese and us 2 Singaporeans. Very worth it as the views of these "wild" sections of great walls are really amazing, some parts on the wall have very steep steps and it was tough to walk, not recommended for elderly and kids. There are not many domestic tourists here as compared to Badaling or Mutianyu (which are more accessible). You have to do this once, while you still can! Memorable.

jimmy was the guide. he is knowledgeable and explained quite afair bit esp on the history of the wall. though dinner wasnt provided, he made an effect to arrange for dinner at e water city before we emarked on simatai section for sunset and night view of the great wall. the 2hrs drive was smooth. thank u Jimmy and driver.
