The great-wall is a must for every traveler heading to beijing, it is truly both awe-inspiring and culturally enriching experience, and if you have already been to the world-renowned badaling great wall  and are searching for somewhere more untamed and commercialised why not try the sections of the Great Wall at Simatai?

Getting to Simatai

Simatai, located 120 km north of Beijing in the county of Miyun, is renowned for its steepness and amazing state of preservation. If you're traveling there on your own, then careful planning is required. Firstly, you will need to go to Dongzhimen which is a major subway station, after getting off at Dongzhimen you will need to find the long-distance bus station and buy your ticket at the ticket office. The No.980 express buses which go to Miyun are reasonably frequent and cost around 50 Yuan, and the journey from Beijing to Miyun takes around 90 minutes – perfect time to have a nap! Upon arriving in Miyun, you have two choices to get to the Wall: try and strike a deal with a local to get driven there in a private car (Note: that usually costs about 200 Yuan); and the other way is to wait mini-buses that head to the wall (Note: generally, these mini buses take much more time, for they are sporadic and not very speedy). It takes less than an hour from Miyun to the wall, so in total from Beijing to the Wall itself it's a one-way trip of around three-hours, so make sure you head off early in the morning!

Experiencing the Wall

Upon arriving at the wall, especially in summer you will instantly be hit with how hot and sunny it is; so heaps of sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses are all essential. Tickets to get in cost 30 Yuan (US$5). Upon entering you have the options of hiking up the sheer sides of the wall or catching a cable-car to the summit, the cable-car costs 50 Yuan (US$9). Upon reaching the end of the cable-car, there is just a short walk up to the wall proper. Upon my first time visiting the wall I was just amazed with how untouched and well preserved it still remains, a sense that soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could at any moment march once again on its rugged parapets. There are almost no hawkers there, just some windswept old women selling postcards, ice-creams and cold bottles of water. The wall is yours to explore at your own pace. As you walk along the 5.4 kilometer stretch that straddles Beijing City and Hebei Province, you realize just how difficult it must have been to construct, the wall itself sits on a mountain ridge elevated 960metres above sea-level it really is an architectural wonder. According to the locals, during construction of the wall during the Ming Dynasty in order to overcome the problem of ferrying bricks up the rugged, steep ridge-line the laborers would tie individual bricks to goats who would then deliver the bricks up to the wall.

This section of the wall offers spectacular vistas as you peer down on the villages and rice fields that dot the landscape far below , there are also over 15 beacon towers still standing in perfect condition that provide relief from the blaring sun and a chance for photos; a word of caution though the wall becomes steep and difficult to navigate in parts and requires at least two hours to finish, upon arriving at the accessible section of the wall there is a 100 meter flying-fox for those who wish to make a swift and thrilling descent. Despite is comparative remoteness; the untamed beauty and isolation of Simatai make it an attractive alternative to Badaling and a great way to spend a day in Beijing.

Uber driers will never take you to great wall simatai becuase is really really far and its almost another city ,but beijingdrivers will do ,beijingdrivers ,take you to simatai great wall only cost 1000rmb ,including gas and toll and parking ,brand new 5 seats car ,fit for 3 passagesrs .

History of the Mutianyu Great Wall

Oldest section of the whole Great Wall masterpiece, Mutianyu was first built in the mid-6thcentury, during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-557). The foundation construction of the defensive wall started during the Qi, while the present wall supervision to strengthen its defensive potential was operated by Generals Xu Da, Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Emperor Yongle's reign (1402-1424). Mutianyu was built on a strategic pass and served quickly as the northern protective screen guarding the capital. The walls of the section were built using the materials coming from the nearby Qian'an County. Working everyday for the accomplishment of the Emperor's wish of a material barrier with the outside world, the construction of the Mutianyu Great Wall Gateway was finished to build up in Emperor Longqing's reign (1567-1572). Due to wartimes and the effects of Nature, the wall had to be reconstructed several times such as in 1568 and 1569. Playing its role as a wartime barrier with invaders, the Mutianyu section was a pivotal point on the Great Wall as aliens forces attacked on every sides of the wall. This was only in 1987 that the section was appraised as one of the 16 best scenic spots of Beijing city.

Located on the same level, the three watchtowers are connected to each other inside the wall and compose a rarely seen structure. The outer and inner parapets of the wall are both used to defend against enemies coming from the two sides, a feature very rare on other parts of the Great Wall. In order to reinforce this defensive use, some of the parapets are even seen tooth shaped instead of the regular rectangular form that we see in the Great Wall. Enemy towers, enemy platforms, wall platforms, extension rooms…everything is packed in the same place: an architecture indicating the important strategic position of Mutianyu Great Wall in history and during wartimes.

One of the new notions Premier Li Keqiang put forward in this year's Government Work Report on March 5 is a "New era of mass tourism".

In it, the phrase "Paid vacations" appears again as a fundamental aspect of the trend. "We will ensure people are able to take their paid vacations, strengthen the development of tourist and transport facilities, scenic spots and tourist sites, and recreational vehicle parks, and see that the tourist market operates in line with regulations. With these efforts, we will usher in a new era of mass tourism," he said.

Premier Li's mention of "Paid vacations" has ignited widespread public reactions. Liang Jianzhang, co-founder of Ctrip (a leading online travel agency), who views tourism as the most promising industry in the future, believes that the implementation of "Paid vacations" is an incentive to Chinese economy. He maintains that "the average number of travels made by Chinese tourists is still far below that of the developed countries, so in the decades to come, China's tourism industry will have to make great strides and will eventually become a significant driver for economic growth. During this process, opportunities for innovation and employment will increase".

In Liang's opinion, facilitating paid vacations can bring a new cycle of tourism consumption and investment-as long as competent travel products can be developed, stable profit can be expected in the long run.

As far as public holiday arrangement is concerned, several proposals emerged into the spotlight during the ongoing two sessions, all of which focus on a modification of the current holiday arrangement

NPC deputy, deputy director of Shaanxi Provincial Tourism Bureau CSU Mingzheng proposes that the Spring Festival holiday should be extended to 10-12 days from the current 7-day vacation.

Xu said his suggestion is based on the fact that the 7-day holiday is so short that people spend more time on the road more than the time they spend with their families, and many social problems also arise from the crowded scenic spots and traffic jams, while an extension of the Spring Festival holiday, which now is one of the two longest vacations periods in China (the other major vacation is October’s National Day holiday) and makes up a big part of the outbound tourism market, can “better satisfy people’s needs to have more time for family reunion, and at the same time boost consumption, stimulate internal demands and facilitate an upgrade of economic development, plus ease traffic pressure brought on by intensive travel demands in such a short holiday period”,said Xu.

An even bolder proposal comes from Huang Xihua, NPC deputy and director of Huizhou Tourism Bureau in Guangdong province.

She proposes that each month should have a 'golden week', specifically, she wants people to only take one weekend day off in the first three weeks of a month, and reschedule the remaining three days to the end of the month and together with the fourth weekend, people can have a five-day holiday. Huang maintains that this mode needs a pilot run in some places, and this initiative is a good reform direction for both scenic spots and those holidaygoers.

Voices come from all directions and because of the various requirements and conditions in different regions and industries, implementation is an even tougher task than policy-making. However, what can’t be denied is the substantial potential China has for tourism and Chinese people’s ever-increasing need to upgrade their consumption style. According to reports of the National Tourism Administration, In 2015, 120 million Chinese went overseas and spent $104.5 billion.

"Tourism is a high-level spiritual need", said Liang Jianzhang, and this inner driving force can definitely lead China into an era of mass tourism.

The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) on Saturday called on tourists to show good manners at attractions nationwide during the three-day break for Tomb-sweeping Day on Monday.

The CNTA asked tourists to behave themselves in order to make tourism "civilized, safe, green and harmonious."

The administration also urged its local branches to properly address tourist complaints, saying that it will make public typical cases after the holiday.

Citizens can choose to provide tips on violations of relevant rules or laws via the "12301" hotline or other platforms.

China's booming domestic tourism market saw over 4 billion trips in 2015, generating tourism revenue of more than 4 trillion yuan (about $620 billion).

A rule limiting visitors from Shenzhen to one trip a week has added momentum to a dive in Hong Kong's visitor numbers - with merchants calling for a review of the measure as the government readies a marketing makeover.

Tour-related incidents and politically motivated protests - culminating in a riot during Chinese New Year - have sent visitor numbers from Hong Kong's key source of tourists plummeting for months.

Inbound mainland visitor figures have decreased by 3 percent year-on-year in 2015, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

A measure launched a year ago to limit visits by Shenzhen residents to once a week is taking its toll on the retail sector. Industry representatives, meanwhile, are not convinced the measure has made any dent in the trade volume of untaxed goods carried across the border for sale by so-called parallel traders.

Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Pharmacy Lau Oi-kwok wants the policy relaxed, pleading that his members' businesses are becoming untenable because of the decline in visitors.

Lau said pharmacies and shops catering to mainland visitors observed a near 50 percent decline in mainland patrons since the end of the Chinese New Year holidays in February. Many such stores located in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay have closed, he said.

China Travel Service Vice-Chairman and Hong Kong lawmaker Yiu Si-wing said the cap had failed to achieve its purpose, noting that the majority of parallel traders had switched from being mainlanders to Hong Kong residents.

Lau shared the sentiment, adding that the cap was an unfriendly message to one of Hong Kong's most supportive places.

The fallout has extended to shops further up the value chain, with handbag and watch dealers also feeling the crunch, according to Shum Chu-wah, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Retail and Wholesale.

Outlets closest to the border were the most visible victims of the downturn, with the damage spreading to hospitality, transport and logistics, Shum said, while survivors resort to large-scale promotions to keep sales afloat.

The SAR government announced in the 2016-17 budget that it will spend HK$240 million ($31 million) to reinvigorate interest among visitors, aiming for healthy, long-term development.

Nearly half of all natural world heritage sites are threatened by harmful industrial activities, such as oil and gas exploration, mining and illegal logging, according to a new report released Wednesday by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

The report, titled "Protecting People through Nature: Natural World Heritage Sites as Drivers of Sustainable Development", detailed global failures to protect UNESCO World Heritage sites.

According to the study, 114 natural and mixed World Heritage sites out of 229 either have oil, gas or mining concessions overlapping them or are under threat from at least one other harmful industrial activity.

For example, the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, the second largest coral reef system in the world, is shown to be at risk from unsustainable coastal construction, large-scale mangrove clearance, harmful agricultural run-off and the potential of dangerous oil exploration.

"World Heritage sites should receive the highest levels of protection, yet we are often unable to safeguard even this important fraction of the Earth's surface," said Marco Lambertini, Director General of WWF International.

"We all agree that these are some of the most valuable and unique places on the planet, now we need to work together to let these sites provide for the well-being of people and nature," Lambertini noted.

WWF is asking the private sector to make no go commitments to refrain from activities that threaten to degrade World Heritage sites. Financing should also be withheld from projects involving harmful industrial activities in World Heritage sites or the companies conducting them.

In addition, national governments should ensure that no harmful industrial activities are permitted in World Heritage sites or in areas that could negatively affect them.

So you’ve decided to run the Great Wall Marathon. Are you insane? Even on a perfectly flat racecourse, 26.2 miles (42km) is no easy feat, and the Great Wall Marathon is definitely not your average marathon. In addition to covering all that horizontal distance, you’ll also be scaling a mountain and climbing 5,000+ steps. The sheer difficulty of running this trail is reflected in the amount of time it takes to complete; the course record for the Great Wall Marathon is 3 hours, 24 minutes and 42 seconds. By comparison, the course record for the Boston Marathon is 2 hours, 3 minutes and 2 seconds.

Those who have run marathons before will be familiar with the term “hitting the wall,” a phrase endurance runners use to describe the point of pure exhaustion, or more specifically, the point where the body has burned through all of its glycogen stores – the fuel you need to produce energy. Hitting the wall is the biological equivalent of running on empty, causing an overwhelming heaviness in the legs, a sense of despair, and in some cases, total collapse. If ever there was a place to hit the wall, it’s on the wall. 

If you don't think you can handle a full-on marathon, but still want to experience running on the wall, a fun alternative would be BOOM's 2016 Great Wall Run, which combines a 5km run on the Simaitai section of the wall – far less grueling than 42km – with an electronic music festival. That sounds much more fun, doesn't it.

Oh, you're still set on running the full marathon? Alright you crazy bastard, time to sign up. That starts with a Google search, which confusingly, will return results showing multiple marathons on multiple days organized by multiple companies. What?!

There is an explanation – most of the marathons you’ve heard of take place in major urban centers, such as Boston, New York, Tokyo, and London. Closing down 26.2 miles of roads – often through busy city centers – is logistically complicated and creates a traffic nightmare for the rest of the city. The logistical realities are such that big city marathons happen strictly once a year, with just one official race run by a single organizing body.

None of these conditions apply to the Great Wall, which extends for thousands of miles through isolated rural areas. There are literally thousands of sections where one can organize a race, and many of the villages alongside the wall rely heavily on tourism, making them more than happy to host a few thousand runners once a year.

The result is that you have multiple races happening all over the wall, which we’ve listed below with some information to help you make your decision:

Great Wall Marathon

The marathon that started them all. Organized by Albatross Adventure Marathons on the Huangyaguan section of the Wall, their 1999 marathon was the first ever race held on the Great Wall. The company specializes in six to seven-day tours for those traveling from outside the country, but Chinese citizens and expats with residence permits can opt simply to run the race and skip the tour for RMB 1,880. Race day is May 21, and while the registration deadline has passed (March 23), you can still sign up with a late fee.

Conquer the Wall Marathon 

This race will be held on May 15, spanning the Badaling section of the Wall. I would suggest that you sign up (and train) in advance, but if you’re inclined to leave this till the last possible moment, the registration deadline is luckily on May 15. Eek. Registration fee is USD 250.

Jinshanling Marathon

As you can gather from the name, this race will be held on the Jingshanling section of the wall on April 17. The registration fee is USD 200 and the deadline for registration is March 31.

Great Wall of China Marathon

This group first organized a race on the Wall in 2001 and apparently has not updated its website since. When I visited it I thought I had traveled back in time to the age of dial-up internet, and found myself questioning why all the helicopter clipart is necessary on a webpage about a marathon. However, the race itself is apparently still up and running and commences May 1, along the Badaling section of the Wall. Registration deadline is April 15.

The Verdict

Yours truly will be running with Albatross Adventure Marathons, one of the first ever companies to organize a race on the Great Wall. Since then, the Danish brand has expanded, and offer marathons in Myanmar, Jordan, South Africa, and even a polar circle marathon in Greenland. They are the top search result on Google, their website is by far the most attractive, and they are the most experienced and the best organized of their competitors. Be sure to check the Beijinger after May 21 for a firsthand account of what it’s like to run one of the Great Wall Marathons.

Don't think you're quite ready to run the Great Wall? There are plenty of other marathons and races running throughout China this year.

BEIJING - China held a large-scale rehearsal for the Sept. 3 military parade from Saturday evening to Sunday morning in Tian'anmen Square and along the Chang'an Avenue in downtown Beijing.
