Simatai Great Wall is one of the few to retain the original features of the Ming dynasty Great Wall. Simatai Great Wall has 16 watch towers on the wall which snakes the steep mountain ridge. The 13th-16th towers are forbidden to hikers due to their steepness and treacherousness. For those less adventurous, the cable car is available to get to an open place close to the 8th tower (White Cloud Tower), then climb up or climb down the Great Wall, or alternatively you may choose to take the cable car back to the ground. Most people prefer to hike up the Great Wall, then take the cable car down.
