Construction of the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall began in the 6th century and was later overhauled and rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty.  Although this section is a bit tougher to get to and tougher to climb, it allows visitors to truly feel the history of The Great Wall.

Address: 
110km Northeast of Beijing

Built during the Ming Dynasty, Simatai hasn’t been renovated in recent history.  It is known for being a harder climb than some of the other sections.  Steep inclines and high winds test visitors on the hike from one watchtower to the next.
