Standing On History Great Wall Of China Tour
One of the most amazing structures in the world is The Great Wall of China. It stretches 5,500 miles, some parts sitting there for millennia, others for many, many centuries. It is one of the top tourist attractions in China and offers a unique look at the history of this great country.
No visit to China would be complete without a Great Wall of China tour. Seeing the structure first hand is awe inspiring and viewing the scenery from the wall is simply breathtaking. Standing upon the wall you feel like you are a part of history, of something that has been there since time began. You can almost see the armies of centuries past turning away from this formidable structure.
The wall is not one complete structure. It is broken at intervals, due either to the destruction of parts of it over time or simply to the way it was built to meet the needs at the time. Of course it is impossible to see the entire wall on your trip to China, but you can certainly see a part of it if you go on one of the Great Wall of China Tours.
One of the sections of the wall that is commonly toured is the Simatai Great Wall. This 19 kilometer stretch is the part of the Ming wall that is best preserved. It is divided into the east and west parts and each of these if very different from the other. The west part has twenty watch towers and is mild in its terrain. On the other hand, the eastern section is very steep. The bricks on this part of the wall are stamped with the code of the army that made them as well as the date they were made.
There is more to the Simatai Great Wall than just the wall itself. From here you can visit and experience such attractions as the Fairy Tower, the Heavenly Ladder, the Sky Bridge and the Watching Beijing Tower from which you can see the city of Beijing.
It is possible to take a cable car, and an iron rope bridge to help you get the best views of the valley below. There is even a service that provides opportunities for boating on the Yuanyang Lake. This wall has so much to offer there is even a cultural festival, and gliding festival and, a climbing.
Many things make the Simatai a top choice to visit, but there are many other parts of the wall you may choose to visit instead. Whether your Great Wall of China tour includes ruined sections or more intact parts, steep or flat you are in for the experience of a lifetime as you stand on history. Beyond just seeing and walking on the wall you can even sleep on the wall in an exclusive hotel, if you opt for the sleep on the wall tour!
