The Great Wall of China at Simatai《老外视线》

In this episode of Foreigner Perspective, climb the Great Wall of China at Simatai with host, Steven Weathers, and his Beijing friends. You see why this section of the Great Wall is less traveled by tourists, more rugged, historically authentic, and overall an awesome spot to explore China's great history. Are you ready? Let's go!

在这一集的《老外视线》，我们将和史龙天以及他的北京朋友们一起去攀登司马台长城。你可以知道为什么这一段长城很少有游客来旅游，这里更崎岖，更具历史性，这里是探寻中国­历史一个非常棒的地方。准备好了吗？我们走！

I was just there (Simatai) and I would say that it is the best way to see the Great Wall. We rented a van and driver for the day (about 800 RMB), making the drive out much more manageable. The one awesome thing they don't show here is that after you walk along the wall you can take a zipline down from near the top of the wall back to the beginning. You zipline over the river and it's pretty fun.

Cool! That sounds awesome. I didn't know about the zipline, but sounds like I need to film a sequel next time I'm in Beijing. I've also been told that you can camp here again, now that the Olympics are over. Thanks for the comments.
