Simatai great wall

The Simatai Great Wall is about 120 kilometers(75 miles) northeast of Beijing in Miyun county. This section is about 19 kilometers long ,and joins Jinshanling Great Wall in the west .

This section is dangerous and precipitous .Many parts of Walls here were built on sheer cliffs or on steep mountain slopes. It rises and falls sharply but has every essential structure—watch towers and parapets.

The Heavenly Ladder is a part of the wall built on a slope at an angle of 60-70 degrees, and some parts are 90 degrees. Some places are so narrow on the mountain ridges that only a thin wall could be built on the top of the very steep cliff with a barrier wall built on it known as “single side wall”.

The Heavenly Bridge is a path over a precipice , about 100 meters long and 3 or 4 feet wide , which crosses abysses about 500 meters deep. With nothing to hold on to , the slightest wind will make visitors tremble with fear, so visitors must climb with extreme care.
