The Great Wall of China at Simatai reopens

The Simatai section of the Great Wall of China is situated 120 kilometers northeast of Beijing. It’s one of the more remote sections of the great wall that is still accessible as a day trip from Beijing, taking around 2 and a half hours to drive, but the rewards of travelling so far are immeasurable – stunning mountains and cliffs with the watchtower-studded wall zigzagging across the tops, and almost perfect peace and quiet as very few people bother to come this far.
