Simatai is probably the most well preserved Graet Wall site in the Beijing area. Like most of the Great Wall sites near the capital it was built during the Ming Dynasty under the direction of General Qi Jiguang. It is 5.5 km in length and is fortified by around 35 watchtowers. It was of utmost importance to the defense of Beijing and still remains intact despite its great age. Simatai is an excellent example of the Great Wall and has many unique characteristics. Its beautiful natural scenery and dramatic landscape make Simatai a fantastic tourist destination.
