Simatai Great Wall-Construction of Simatai Section

Started from Wangjing Tower in the east and connected with Jinshanling Section in the west, Simatai Section lies in the Miyun County, 120 kilometers away from Beijing City. Among the remaining walls, it is the one with the least manmade modern decorations and closest to the original appearance built in Ming Dynasty.

The Construction of Simatai Section

Simatai Section was started to be built during the early years of Ming Emperor Hongwu. A renovation was applied from 1569, the 3rd year of Emperor Longqing, to 1573, the 1st year of Emperor Wanli. It is the only part of the Great Wall which is without modern decoration and remaining the original appearance of Ming Dynasty.
