A day's car ride, and finally to Simatai, a short break, the band with a few empty cardboard boxes and began our trip to the Great Wall.
Simatai Great Wall is divided into two things, separated by the middle of a river, has now been into the Simatai Reservoir dam. The east is known for rugged Simatai 16 floor, while the west winds may have been to Jinshanling.
When the sky began to Deng Changcheng has gradually dim down far saw the outline of the mountains. Along the mountain-on, soon went to the foot of the Great Wall up the stairs, it is strange at the foot of the stairs are narrow and actually kick can not be accepted, but later encountered such a short way, as to what kind of reason can not but cicada. In the second floor and third floor, a break between, finishing equipment, has also met to do business in the mountains, living in the Great Wall on a family of three. See the bouncing and vivacious child, made me think that the Great Wall in her mind an impression of how long the children on the Great Wall ^ _ ^.
About 8:00, we reached the camp - the third floor. Accommodation at the Great Wall, of course, want to see the sunrise, while watching the sunrise is said to at least the eighth floor, but the villagers said recently that there are often people in the Great Wall, Hebei robbery, the best places on the third floor, because the second and 4th floor, live with the hawkers to do business will be relatively safe. The third floor is a very typical of the Great Wall watch tower, a square, each side has three windows or doors has really surrounded by air, but because of low-lying, draft is not large (in relative terms).
Slightly observed the environment around you, each finding its own safe havens, but the majority shares of the corner have a strong foul smell of urine, so three hours sleep in two, two students the north wall of sleep, I sleep in the west under the window. While riding in the car one day, but may be feeling a bit agitated, or there is some information about the fear of bandits overwhelmed the sleepy, listening to the voice side of the students stand up, always thought it was coming, a long time could not sleep.
Hazy between the first thing that strikes the back of a foreign body, startled a goose bumps, moving without daring to move, stalemate later, it actually still crawling up, really can not stand all of a sudden threw out his open flashlight, nothing was found. Uneasy in a towel wrap hand can not help but want to, will not climb up the face of years, it just felt like a lot of legs, is not a spider? Hesitation the occasion out of the window, spreading waves of flash, up look, turned out to be distant lightning daze even forgot to use telescopes, watched while they sleep. Unfortunately, that guy has never left me, and then climb up my hands, this time it may from time to the less fortunate, what it Shuaixiang corner, open the flashlight, Yi Jiaochuai go, but it was just cricket ^ _ ^.
Finally able to sleep well now, but over and over again, or go to sleep, wearing long clothes trousers, straight whole body sweating, dim between the fear of the thing has finally happened, someone came. With the approaching footsteps to sit up, I felt came three, saw the two, the students and villagers also asked a remark, "That's the way it?", The other side did not answer, but went straight toward the floating next to me that the door, I said a "be careful", it will be no trace. After a while child, I got up and saw them, has not disappeared, and we thought it was the same as climbing our street-sleepers, but they are quick to Bale. Unfortunately, later in the journey they have failed to materialize.
Students out, waiting for him between half awake, half an hour has not come back, it's my turn anxious, they must wake up to another student (really do not know why he had slept so Shen), let him not leave, I went out to look to find that guy went so far as the outside walls of the ladder and fell asleep. Although the days are not sunny, but the star is very bright, very beautiful.
Finally to the scheduled departure time of 2:00, finishing a bit pack, took off the coat and started our "sunrise" trip. Along the ladder, with a high degree of increase in neatly at the foot of the ladder gradually disappeared and was replaced by the slope. A break for so long, at the foot naturally does not slow (in fact, did not go far), and soon we reached the sixth floor, just 2:30 and decided to break into the four-point in this, so will not miss the eighth floor, 5:00 After the sunrise.
The floor into a rectangle, it seems larger than the third floor, this Louchuang xintaizi under a very wide, just lie down and upper body, no clothes to wear too troublesome, the results actually sleep like a baby, the wind overhead忽忽of paths, and pleasant cool. Quickly to the departure time, the wind started a real journey.
Some bright days, this period of the Great Wall while steep, but the distance between the number of floor is not too great, there is no long stay at the seventh floor, and soon we went to the eighth floor, eighth floor, businessman by our woke up, it seems very surprised that we are up so early, while we are also very surprised something like that actually have such a large Lengyin Tan, I really admire so many things he lifted, the more expensive come as no surprise, and greeting the a few words later, we walked toward the front of the watch tower.
The thought I could rest here waiting to see the sunrise, and did not want to just block 10th floor, went so far in front, there is no point sunrise view. Can only continue to move forward, bringing the road more and more narrow, the road had been paved ladder or disappear, in some places has already been required in order to move forward with the hand, foot, and the most wonderful thing is there must be a watch tower in front of a total Dangzhao horizons, we have already that visitors stop the rejection of the brand is far behind, and the pursuit of sunrise hopes gradually dim down, the sky has become bigger and brighter, or a big cloudy, but have not seen the sun, holding a glimmer of hope stubborn forward to to find a place where the sunrise can be seen in many places no road, and the side is very steep slopes of the ridge on the difficult crawling she has forgotten after a few mortgage payments, always thought that is in front of Wangjing House or fairies building.
Finally we have found that the walls actually much easier to walk on, "this time to the total of the bar," When you see the watch tower in front of lofty thought, here is indeed open a few, even the watch tower high above the ground should be higher Fortunately, over the wall in the school regularly on weekdays, a few holes on the wall, climbed the watch tower smooth forward a view, far-off areas in front of the watch tower is a solitary, very slender slim look ^ _ ^. But can not help but look down a headache, no roads, only slightly wider than the two brick walls of some of the above neatly lined with two bricks on both sides of almost kick wide. Of course, there is no going back into. Rest of the gap observation Quartet, Guan open within the relatively flat, fluctuating little hills in the distance light disappearing into the clouds; connections with the outside is a different story, alpine remote right, steep mountains, dense vegetation. That made me wonder, in this bird does not shit place to spend the vast human and material resources to build the Great Wall of this seemingly useless, can they really resist the enemy outside the gate? A big question mark!
Began as a downhill, there is no slopes, but the steps one by one, are about a meter or so, on both sides of the mountain steep, even the rest of the three men were careful when I actually put it plainly, falling to certain death. Started up the hill, and the steps the beginning is not high on the hillside but gradually became a straight up and down the climbing walls. This wall is a stone rather than brick, and in settled at the edge of a very good, although more and more high, but I think the most sad is not a high wall, but because of a one-day car ride yesterday, legs become soft and the strength of their hands alone climbing on the shoulders of the backpack so that the focus of the whole person back, it is difficult. In the height of the time, went so far as there is a desire to jump down, a thought of the excitement and fear mixed, and why? I do not know the future, I would really jump off, this may be Freud to explain ^ _ ^. There is a very strange thing, I am old and want to be dropped to two classmates, and how do I do. Tired of fear among the excitement, we are finally close to Wangjing building, disaster relief before us, it is a pity that no road, and in front of a very high "level" of about 3-4 meters, the same as before, absolutely vertical, I'm afraid of the in the face of this last a wall on the right, although the cliff, but it is safer than that from a number of stones, we climbed to the floor at the foot of the Wangjing, someone made a wooden ladder (there are even after the Fairy), By wooden ladder of it, we finally came to the Wangjing floor.
Wangjing floor in front of the floor scale and small compared to more than one front and rear two doors, the wall of the Central In contrast, at a distance of about one meter along the height of subglottic circle of reinforced steel, steel plate is welded, no electricity, I do not know How made of. Has been part of the roof collapse, from the ruins of view, the roof is the arch-free beam structure, although the collapse of a part, but as a whole is a very strong look, in which not the slightest feeling of insecurity ^ _ ^. Channel between the door and the door right there is a door, which is a two-step along the ladder and on to the roof Wangjing floor (which is in the eastern sector the only one can be seen from the buildings directly on to the floor, the top of the watch tower, western part has been repaired until the Jinshanling section of only a few so watch tower), which is reportedly a high degree of Kyoto monuments first, in the absence of any shelter, in any one direction is very open. Stand above, close your eyes, will feel the earth revolves around you spin up (obviously that is what the fear of high ^_^), also smug Kannai open, outside of customs dangerous, no wonder that successive leaders of the northern ethnic minorities are willing to go home from the Township, led the masses to stay at home Kinjiro Soul Central Plains, may be whether they bring happiness? I do not know, everyone has their own views. Small size of the entire floor, but the structure of clever, in the building with fuel growing and becoming more twists and turns on the pore, to avoid the impact of storms on the signal. From the Fairy House to Wangjing floor brick walls did not use the Great Wall, but rather from local materials, we can see the house of the hard repair, only the brick shipped on to the top, it's a great human and material resources required to ho.
Looking back Seomang, Wangjing House is a 16th floor, before the floor is a large-scale (relatively speaking), of various shapes, floor and floor, the walls between the strong, broad corridor, the more east, the mountain gradually insurance, the Great Wall is also gradually Jane. Eastern Simatai Great Wall in order to form different insurance and watch tower known for, a pity that we shall taste of the Great Wall of risk, due to hurry and the darkness to appreciate the reasons for failure to carefully watch tower of the architectural art, deep regret, but also look for the latecomers ring. 16th Floor, camping is the more appropriate 3,6,7 floor no matter how high I am afraid that due to a high degree of reason, after the temperature is too low. And then gradually lower towards the mountain, said following the ancient Great Wall is the Northern Qi Dynasty Great Wall, corridor has been covered with plants, shows little deserted, and sadly it is not our goal, and we are just to the nearby saw a watch tower a look at, from the look and feel can be very obvious to see the different architectural styles, and the Great Wall bricks vary considerably.
Wangjing floor for a long time in the rest, leave, time may be guilty of an unforgivable mistake, we have drained all the water, the weather gradually heat up, I have the courage to return from the same route, we have chosen a future of uncertain of the mountain down the mountain. Trail is located outside the customs side, a beginning we stumbled quite accidentally into get back to the Fairy House, but we continue to move forward, we found that we have with a high degree of reduction, we are actually to the distant relative of the hillside with the Great Wall, the woods air boring, hot, I have far to fall behind, up the hill easily down hard, in the legs, when no effort is especially true for several kick Caikong, but fortunately did not foot sprain. Might also be on the burden of physical support, but the shadow of the issue of water is increasing, there is no water, very hot, I do not know where the way forward, I have been teammates on several occasions refused to make a break, and he was afraid that we no power to stop a a. Shuffle staying more than an hour and sweat all flow almost ^ _ ^, we came to the corn edge of the field means that we are not far from the village.
Accelerated the pace down, but still they Zoulehenyuan section of the road to see the village until the village is very quiet, can we just did not see the people in the mountains Ganhuo ah, looking for a good few nobody made us feel doubly strange a pretty lucky that we have encountered one today due to leg pain does not go into the mountains to sell water, ma'am, Erhuamoyue put led us into the house, took out the water from the refrigerator so that we would still like to drink, the original of this year drought, crops do not long, the village people are selling water on the Great Wall, went to three individuals may be filling the two liters of water down in one breath, suddenly quintana Shutai, internal force multiplier ^ _ ^. A short break, to the commissary to open the aunt to sell some, but also a number of irrigation water, we continue to hit the road, the road they met an old lady selling the water for a while we made a guide (as to her purchase of water for price), we went to the Simatai Reservoir east of the shore, in fact, be said that the shore is far-fetched, the following simply no water, we will go directly from the river the past, we back the number of water bottles shot up to 6 liters of 10 .
Rest for a short rain, heavy rain, and afraid of the water surge, and we went immediately to the west of the Great Wall from the west of the trail up the mountain behind the mineral water factory (really surprised that some mineral water near the plant, but it is selling Wahaha , Robust, wonder wonder), and soon went to the fourth floor, when it is noon, I think it is much to 12:00, we began to eat solid food, breakfast was eaten in the Wangjing floor, eating a big sausage , lunch is a hard tack, of course, take more time, by the way watch the opposite (east) of the scenery, the farthest we go Wangjing floor has exceeded our eyesight recall, the Great Wall in the misty rain, some of their own grace, winds and rain and fog phase, one by one the tourists black dots appear to be so small, that we are heading over there shouted, but not a little echo. Took off his wet clothes, mountains, the weather was indeed very extreme line, shaking our frozen unsteadily.
Lunch is running out, this time up the two foreigners and their guide, a photo shoot after rushing forward, as we think, how cold-shouldered by the foreigners back then? Xiangzhui quickly packed his things up. Is a length away in front of the collapse of the Great Wall, only from the adjacent lane to go around the back there many times such a situation, the rain has not stopped, strong winds, especially near the watch tower, practically untenable脚. Had heard that side of the road that lies ahead, but it is long, but the rain is over, no longer the case, originally the Great Wall Sheung is not flat, shallow kick one foot deep is even careful not to slip, his legs unable to In particular, the case of fatigue.
Visible when it comes to the beginning of that mighty man and a woman foreigners, rained constantly, and their increasingly distant figure, but I was far behind the fall companion, the wind was cold on the body, Then simply put the wet clothes off, and Guangzhaobangzai go. The Great Wall in the rain in all directions are the rain and fog, wind and rain in the Great Wall solitary crouch ridge stretching to the distance. We do not know how long the road ahead, we have also imagined that Foreign Babes catch up, there is no great attention to the Great Wall itself, only taking a walk. After the departure of the previous paragraph, the Great Wall I do not know why the demolished walls on both sides, and both sides failed to protect the quite appalling road itself is fairly spacious, there are some parts of collapse, especially when near the watch tower, from the shape, it is quite like a bombing, so of course we thought the Japanese devils, allegedly in the vicinity, there had been fierce fighting.
The shape of the watch tower preceding are relatively monotonous, boxy, but the size difference, there are many spectacular, there is a watch tower before the roads, but no, and it may be seen that we do not repair the watch tower of the most majestic, and unfortunately did not manage to climb to go around later. In the forward, gradually with the wall, watch tower changing the structure of the shape up, I have a few light years in the watch tower to find a way to look for a long time, but the watch tower were many collapsed, a complete little. The arrow on the wall to the stack is complete, toward the outside of customs is the arc of the perforation was obviously very convenient Shishe towards square off in a hole, obviously not used in combat. Several paragraphs road becomes very narrow, very steep, next to the puzzle of the layers of a vertical wall with the wall, I do not know what use, really going to look up the information. The way we met two guys, one oncoming, the other of us to catch up, they actually also used the umbrella ^ _ ^.
In the case of physical strength to climb the Great Wall bad it really was not a good thing, rainy day we fools machine is useless, we have finally finished the Great Wall is not repaired, came to Jinshanling attractions. By the way, this period of the Great Wall have tickets mark, but you can bypass the small road to go, save 20 yuan ^ _ ^. Great Wall, the difference between the old and new large, but the old Great Wall can clearly feel the share of the vicissitudes of history sense, the new Great Wall is also very spectacular, but ... ... we also went to the shop floor, that is, the soldiers watch tower upper lounge went in feeling boring, perhaps a result of fitting bar ^ _ ^. Hawkers inquiries, I discovered that two of the foreigners to go far wrong. Jinshanling Great Wall is not the end of winding away in front of it to Gubeikou, we tired, there is no time, never know when he can return.

Attached note: the first time to write such travels, but also on the computer, intermittent written in January and a half has been powerless to write back, it is inevitable there are omissions, if you have questions, please message. With the tour by: Li Wei, Yu Feng.
The Great Wall in Beijing are four sections of a continuous, all in the north, the vast majority of none of the development, could leave Beijing pre-traveled:

Badaling start Longquan southwest along the valley to the Mutianyu gubeikou Jinshanling, Simatai eastward along the valley ponderosa jiangjunguan, huangyaguan (Hebei) east
