Day 2 Simatai Hiking - Beijing

Get up early, and drive to the foot of Simatai Great Wall. Simatai Great Wall is a great section of great walls in Beijing to explore the wild features of Great Wall. It is divided into two sections by Yuanyang Lake. The western section is regular. Hikes are much more fascinated by the eastern section which is more challenging to climb but splendid to see the magnificent walls meandering up and down the mountain ridges that seem to have been sliced on both sides by a huge axe. The Wangjing Tower is the highest summit of the Simatai Great Wall which is 986 meters above sea level. To get to this summit tower, you have to walk over some unrestored paths. 

Leave Simatai Great Wall, then drive back to Beijing.

Hi Mr Wang,

Thanks! I had a weekend away to Xi’an, China to celebrate my birthday. It was an exciting weekend and it was certainly something off the beaten trail for most of my friends. The itinerary you have suggested provided good coverage of the city’s rich history. From the fascinating Terracotta Army to the City Walls to the sacred Mount Hua, to the Muslim Quarter to the Drum & Bell Towers, there’s an interesting story from every historical era in Xi’an. I managed to hike up Mount Hua from North Peak to West Peak, but I didn’t get to do the dangerous plank walk as it was closed.

The hotel Eastern House was very accessible too with food places within steps and its proximity to the Drum Tower is a plus. The room was very clean and comfortable.

At this point, I have to quickly mention our amazing tour guide Betty Jiao Yan who was assigned to us as part of our private tour package. She made our time feel so very special and I wonder if Xi'an would have been as awesome without her. She had such a positive and caring nature and when we had to say goodbye, we felt very sad. It was strange to miss a guide after only knowing her for 5 days! Luckily we still keep in touch on WeChat. Our driver Mr Ma was very polite, punctual and accommodating, making our travel a pleasant experience

Hi Rita,

In response to your enquiries, we had a wonderful experience with the tour arrangements in both Guilin and Yangshuo. Both the tour guide and driver were very professional and handled the arrangements well.

I am surely recommending any friends or relatives who are interested in travelling to China in future to use China Discovery. Also, will be looking at other destinations for ourselves too.

Thanks once again for the wonderful experience.
