The Simatai section of the Great Wall, on the outskirts of Beijing, is famous for its steep slope.
The section was originally built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577) and was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
This wall protects the access to Gubeikou, an important strategic step on the route to the old capital.
Due to their characteristics, the dizzying heights of the Great Wall of Simatai, attract a large number of tourists throughout the year.
The Great Wall of China is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and is undoubtedly the most attractive place for tourists arriving from all over the world.
This wall is an ancient Chinese fortification built and rebuilt between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern border of the Chinese empire during the successive imperial dynasties from the attacks of the Xiongnu nomads of Mongolia and Manchuria.
Counting its branches and secondary buildings, it is estimated that it is about 21,200 km long, from the border with Korea on the edge of the Yalu River, to the Gobi Desert. On average, it measures about 7 meters high and about 5 meters wide.
