ABOUT SIMATAIGREATWALL
Simatai Great Wall. which is well-known for its five characters of “steepness, compactness, queerness, wonderfulness, and comprehensiveness”, is located in
Gubeikou Town to the north-east of Miyun,
Beijing. Simatai Great wall is exquisite in its details and is grand
as a whole, which is the only part of ancient Great Walls with the
original features of Ming Dynasty well reserved. Simatai Great Wall
came into being under the famous general QI Jiguang’s supervision
and his original creation, during the Wanli period. It incorporates
various characteristics of Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Wall and at the
same time bears its unique features. Professor LUO Zhewen, the
prestigious Great Wall expert, praised “Chinese Great Walls are the
best all around the world, while Simatai deserves the best among all
Chinese Great Walls.” Up to now, Simatai Great Wall has been listed
by UNESCO into the World Cultural Heritages.
Simatai Great Wall is separated into eastern and
western parts by a valley, with a rainbow-like chain bridge over the
valley. The hills in the west are sloping gently, with 20 watchtowers
well remained. The jade kylin embossment on the General Tower is
showing its originality and vividness. The Great Wall is winding on
the hills like a golden dragon with majestic vigor. The eastern part
of Great Wall, with 15 watchtowers densely covering the peaks thousand
meters high, looks even more fantastic. On the marvelous Fairy Tower,
there are white marble arches carved with lotuses, telling wonderful
tales. The Heaven Bridge is following the Fairy Tower, which is
shorter than 100 meters and narrower than 1 brick, and with cliffs
along both sides. Those succeeding in passing the Bridge will be
awarded Wall Heroes. On the very peak, connected with the Heaven
Bridge, is Capital-Watching Tower, titled the Upmost Cultural Peak of
Beijing, with a height of 986 meters above sea level. Walk up and
enter the Tower, we may enjoy the white snow of Wuling Mountain to the
east, the grand Great Wall to the west, the romance to the north, and
capital lamplight to the south. All the outstanding sights will make
us feel relaxed and happy.
Deep in the valley, there’re two springs called
Mandarin Duck Springs. The east one is cold, while the west is warm.
The two springs join into one lake, half cold and the other half warm.
Traveling with a small boat on the lake, scanning widely, we may find
the mysterious charm of the Great Wall. Simatai Great Wall is quite
different with other parts of Great Wall in its fantastic sight seeing
and precipitous topography, with interleaving fight walls and defense
walls, sky bridge of all sizes, and the wording bricks with both
Yinwen and Yangwen, etc.
All the features make Simatai Great Wall, with its
historic meanings, the famous scenic spot for traveling, exploration
and inspection.
