Simatai Great Wall, Section of the Great Wall in Luanping County, China.

The Simatai Great Wall extends 5.4 kilometers across steep mountains, featuring 35 watchtowers connected by stone pathways and staircases.

The initial construction dates to the Northern Qi dynasty in 550, with General Qi Jiguang directing major reinforcements during the Ming dynasty in 1373.

Chinese wall specialist Professor Luo Zhewen recognizes this section as the most representative example of Ming dynasty military architecture.

Visitors can reach the wall by taking a cable car or walking the steep paths, with entry fees of 40 RMB and cable car tickets ranging from 90 to 160 RMB.

The Heavenly Ladder leads to Fairy Tower at an 80-degree incline, where the path narrows to 50 centimeters wide at the highest point.
