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.

Due to its position as a link to Beijing, Juyongguan Pass was one of the most strategically important parts of the Great Wall of China.  Originally constructed during the fifth century, it was later rebuilt during the Ming dynasty.  Juyongguan was neglected during the Qing Dynasty, but has since been renovated and opened to the public.
