Simatai Great Wall-The Great Wall of Mountains and Water

Simatai Section, the Great Wall of Mountains and Water

Located in mountainous area, Simatai Section was mainly built along the ridge of the mountains. Featuring in uniqueness, ruggedness and trimness, it perfectly coordinates with the undulating terrain, which makes it more majestic and magnificent. At the foot of the central part of the Simatai Section, there is the Simatai Reservoir, which is 600-700 meters long with the storage capacity of 50,000 cubic meters. Smooth as a mirror, the reservoir splits the Simatia Section into halves. Descending from the east and west mountian ridges, the 2 parts of the Great Wall cast their reflection on the surface of the reservoir, like 2 dragons playing in the water. More diversely, there is a hot spring to the west bank of the reservoir and a cold spring to the east, known as the Mandarin Ducks Springs. the water of the hot spring is drinkable. Its temperature averages at 38 all year round and is an ideal spa for tourists. Influenced by the springs, the water of the reservoir is half hot and half cold. In summer, you can paddle a boat in the reservoir, or bathe in the spa. In winter, you can appreciate the fascinating view of the Great Wall looming in the misty vapor on the surface of the reservoir, which creaes an illusive mirage. Harmoniously coordinated with mountains and water, Simatai Section then is well known as the Great Wall of Mountains and Water.
