Which is better, Simatai Great Wall or Badaling Great Wall?

It must be Simatai Great Wall. Fun! Don't be stupid enough to squeeze Badaling. Recently, there are many people in the tourist season in Beijing. I chose a working day to climb the Great Wall of Simatai, and I can also go to Gubei Water Town on weekdays. Simatai Great Wall smells good. There is no one on the cable car to Simatai Great Wall. When I boarded the eighth floor to take photos, I took photos at will, because the whole Great Wall was contracted by me!

Simatai Great Wall is located in Simatai Village, Gubeikou Town, north of Miyun District, Beijing. Luo, a famous ancient architect in China, called Simatai Great Wall the first Great Wall in China. Simatai Great Wall is also a very steep section of the Great Wall in Wan Li.

I have been there twice. Self-driving 1 day tour last weekend. On this working day, I took the bus for 2 days 1 night. I personally recommend this plan.

Comments on flying pigs, etc. : A homestay in Changchengyuan Community, Longhu, next to Shuizhen, price 100+ (excluding tickets). You need to look at the reviews and find a clean and comfortable one. I am satisfied with the reservation of a homestay, which is rich and frugal.
