Simatai Great Wall சுற்றுலாக்கள்

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.

I had a very nice day today at the Great Wall! Angela gave me a lot of tips to avoid long queues, so I was able to visit the East and West side in one day, plus getting lunch afterwards! I feel like it is a very recommendable trip for everyone who wants to go to the Great Wall for one day, especially as a solo traveller! :)

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.

இது ஒரு சிறந்த பயணம், நீர் கிராமம் அழகாக இருக்கிறது. பிரதான பகுதியில் உள்ள உணவுத் தெருவுக்கு படகில் செல்வது, ஷட்டில், பெருஞ்சுவருக்கு திரும்பும் கேபிள் கார் டிக்கெட்டுகள் போன்ற கூடுதல் வசதிகளை நீங்கள் சேர்க்கலாம். விருப்பமான மதிய உணவு ஹாட் பாட் ஆகும். பெருஞ்சுவர் மற்றும் கிராமம் இரண்டிலும் கூட்டம் அதிகமாக இல்லை மற்றும் மிகவும் அமைதியாக இருந்தது. பெருஞ்சுவர் மற்றவற்றைப்போல் பராமரிக்கப்படவில்லை, ஆனால் அதன் அசல் நிலையைக் காண்பது நல்லது. ஒவ்வொரு வழிக்கும் சுமார் 2 மணிநேரம் ஆகும், ஆனால் அது மதிப்புமிக்கது. பெருஞ்சுவர் காலை அமர்வுக்கு மாலை 5 மணி வரை திறந்திருக்கும், பின்னர் மாலை 6 மணி முதல் இரவு அமர்வுக்கு திறந்திருக்கும், இது ஒரு சிறிய பகுதிக்கு அழகாக ஒளிரும். நல்ல காலணிகள் மற்றும் சூரிய பாதுகாப்பு கொண்டு வாருங்கள்.

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.

We did a tour to Jinshanling section of the Great Wall today and our tour guide was Jimmy. We highly recommend Jimmy as a great guide. We have two 6-year old daughters and Jimmy was so kind with them and went at a pace which was suitable for us. Great communication and very professional and knowledgeable!
