We had initially planned to hike from Jinshanling to Simatai... Thankfully we checked with the Concierge before heading out and found out that Simatai was closed for restoration!

We opted to go to the Great Wall at Mutianyu over the one at Badaling as the latter is supposed to be more toursity and crowded. This was a great choice with the cable cars/gondolas as well as the toboggan descent!
